Megan Pinchback
Megan Pinchback, MBA, LDT, CALT is a Licensed Dyslexia Therapist throughout the state of Texas. She completed her Certified Academic Language Therapist CALT training from the Scottish Rite Dyslexia Center of Austin in 2011. After a 10-year career as a special education teacher in the Texas public school system, she transitioned into private practice as a dyslexia therapist and CALT servicing children out of her office in Dripping Springs, Texas. After 7 years of experience in private practice, she acted on her knowledge of the severe shortage of Certified Academic Language Therapists globally required to service the estimated 20% of the needed population and founded Dyslexia On Demand, an exclusively web-based, one-on-one platform connecting students with CALTs nationwide. Her understanding of the shortage of quality dyslexia services for children on a national level propels her daily to stretch her knowledge, voice, and reach. Megan is the Vice President of Outreach for the Academic Language Therapy Association. She is passionate about dyslexia advocacy, legislation, and supporting students and parents through the social-emotional impact of dyslexia and the struggle to receive appropriate servicing.
Individualized Therapy for All Dyslexia Profiles
As Certified Academic Language Therapists, we undergo extensive training in structured literacy, brain function, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. However, individualizing these approaches for each student can often be overlooked. As experts in dyslexia, we must address the unique needs of each child entrusted to our care. In this session, we will explore how to leverage testing data to tailor specific adaptations in therapy for each student. Additionally, we will discuss how to use therapist-collected data to continually assess and adjust our methods, ensuring we remain effective in our approach.
