Reading Clinicians

Reading Clinicians have expertise in many areas of literacy and learning. This includes, but is not limited to, learning aptitudes, language, writing and spelling, study skills and math. Our certification and training help us develop an in-depth understanding of reading and learning processes. We are experts in developing the appropriate intervention at the appropriate time. Our positions also require that we keep current in literacy research and best instructional practices.

As specialists in language and literacy learning we:

• consistently implement most the most recent evidence-based practices to improve student learning

• provide a better understanding of a student's learning profile

• engage in interdisciplinary collaboration with school teams of professionals, such as psychologists, and speech and language pathologists

• work in both private and public school systems across Manitoba

• many operate private practices which offer direct support to students and families in need of additional support to address literacy concerns

Reading Clinicians support students' learning needs through:

• identifying learning differences and disabilities 

• assessing learning aptitudes and cognitive processing

• provide recommendations of accommodations to address learning needs in areas such as oral language associated with literacy, phonemic and phonological awareness, decoding and spelling, vocabulary, fluency, listening and reading comprehension, as well as writing skills
