Unlock Your Child’s Reading Potential with Expert Dyslexia Therapy.
Compassionate, evidence-based dyslexia therapy from Certified Academic Language Therapists serving families across Middle Tennessee and Central Kentucky—both in-person and online.
At Hoover Learning Group, we don’t just tutor—we transform how students with dyslexia learn to read. Our Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs) use Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia, a proven, multisensory Orton-Gillingham-based curriculum built on decades of research.
Through structured, cumulative lessons and multisensory engagement, our approach rewires the brain’s reading pathways—leading to measurable and lasting gains in reading, spelling, and comprehension.
Unlike traditional tutoring, dyslexia therapy addresses the root neurological causes of reading challenges and builds lifelong literacy strategies.

We pair clinical expertise with compassionate guidance—providing progress updates, parent education, and school collaboration so support continues beyond therapy sessions.
This isn’t just improvement—it’s transformation backed by decades of research.
The right support can permanently change how the brain processes reading and language. Our structured approach combines consistency, intensity, and sustained duration, all backed by research.
The Research-Backed Formula for Success

Dyslexia Therapy FAQs
-
Struggling to learn letters, mixing up colors, or having trouble recognizing familiar words can all be early indicators that a child may be experiencing dyslexia. While every child learns at their own pace, noticing these patterns early can make a huge difference in getting the right support for your child.
-
A: Our Initial Consultation and Evaluation (ICE) include standardized testing administered by a Certified Academic Language Therapist specifically trained and experienced in conducting an ICE. Our therapist will provide an immediate review of the ICE results review with parents, and specific recommendations for intervention.
-
A: Most families notice improvements in confidence and attitude within the first few months. Research shows significant, measurable gains typically appear within 6-12 months of consistent therapy (3-4 sessions per week). However, achieving independent reading success usually requires 18-24 months of sustained intervention. The brain needs time to build and reinforce new reading pathways. This is real neurological change, not a quick fix.
-
Yes. Research demonstrates that students maintain word reading gains and continue to improve in reading comprehension for years after completing therapy. Studies tracking students up to four years post-treatment show stable, lasting outcomes. We’re not just teaching reading strategies. Dyslexia therapy rewires how the brain processes written language.
-
Good news: research shows that students with the lowest reading skills at baseline actually achieve the strongest gains from Take Flight instruction. Early intervention is critical, but it's never too late to help a struggling reader. Our CALTs are specifically trained to work with students at all skill levels.
-
Take Flight is a comprehensive, Orton-Gillingham based curriculum developed by Scottish Rite for Children that addresses all five components of effective reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension. It's an evidence-based approach with decades of research supporting its effectiveness.
-
Tutors typically help with homework completion and test prep. Dyslexia therapy addresses the underlying neurological patterns that cause reading challenges. Our CALTs have 700+ hours of specialized training in how the dyslexic brain learns to read, and they use multisensory, structured techniques specifically designed to rewire reading pathways.
-
Our therapy programs are structured in monthly or 3-month payment periods, with pricing based on session frequency (2-4 sessions per week). Hoover’s dyslexia therapy can qualify for HSA reimbursement.
-
Yes. Hoover therapy services can qualify for Health Savings Account (HSA) reimbursement. We provide itemized receipts and documentation to support your reimbursement claims.
-
Dyslexia therapy is typically considered educational rather than medical, so it's usually not covered by health insurance. However, therapy services do qualify for HSA funds (which are often tied to insurance plans). We recommend checking with your insurance provider and can provide documentation for any possible reimbursement.
