A National Certifying Organization

ALTA - Who We Are
ALTA Mission Statement
Certification Process
ALTA is a national professional member organization dedicated to the remediation of written language skills.

ALTA certifies individuals trained in the remediation of written language skills.

ALTA requires that members maintain and expand expertise through tracking of continuing education credits (CEU's). ALTA members are also required to follow the organization's Code of Ethics.
The mission of ALTA is to establish, maintain, promote and strengthen standards to assure that the membership will perform quality professional services for students with dyslexia and related disorders.

Certification as a Certified Academic Language Therapist or an Associate Academic Language Teacher is based on four very important components.

  • Coursework
  • Demonstration lessons
  • Supervised clinical experience
  • Successful completion of a national certification exam
