ON DEMAND: 2026 ALTA National Conference

For four decades, ALTA has championed the belief that every child holds extraordinary potential. Too often, language and literacy challenges mask the intelligence and creativity of those with dyslexia—but through Multisensory Structured Language intervention, these barriers can be overcome. This year’s theme celebrates 40 years of ALTA’s transformative work and honors Certified Academic Language Practitioners and Therapists, a profession born from medicine, psychology, and education. Join us over two days as experts and advocates unite to explore interdisciplinary research, inspire discovery, and empower learners to reach their fullest potential.

This conference is a must-attend event for dyslexia professionals, offering up to 10.5 CEs.
