In addition, seven of our professionals were trained in the rapid prompting method, a method that allows non or low verbal individuals to express themselves at their true level of comprehension.
talk expanded its license under the pennsylvania department of education to include tutoring. We offer tutoring in both early literacy and emerging and developing literacy, including phonological awareness, sound-symbol association, syllable instruction, comprehension skills, synthetic and analytic instruction and multisensory instruction. Tutoring is offered throughout the year on an individual basis.
