Under the supervision of a Lexercise clinician and using the Lexercise teletherapy platform, the trainee will provide structured literacy therapy to 3 clients concurrently for 12 weeks (Lexercise will provide the clients).

Prior to the 12 weeks of client sessions, 3-5 weeks are devoted to the prerequisite teletherapy technology training that is provided as part of the Course 3 course enrollment.  Once the teletherapy technology training has been completed, the trainee will conduct tech checks and review client records (1 additional week) and the following 12 weeks are spent providing structured literacy teletherapy services. This course involves ~ 100 hours of supervised clinical experience (a minimum of 11.5 hours per week for approximately 100 supervised hours over the 13-weeks of client service in the course).

Trainees will develop skills with teletherapy tools and with research-backed methodologies for structured literacy therapy. 

The cost of this course is $2,990.
