What is the usual process for membership in ALTA?
Individuals are eligible to apply for membership in ALTA to become a Certified Academic Language Therapist once they have completed a program at an ALTA Accredited Center or have completed an Orton-Gillingham based program which complies with the guidelines as written in the Bylaws. All applications for membership must be signed or authorized by the individual’s training center. After credentials are verified, the applicant is a candidate to take the registration examination, successful completion of which is the final step in the membership process, and must be accomplished before a therapist can use the designation Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT). Annual renewal of membership is required in order to maintain CALT status. Student members have no requirement other than student status within an accredited center’s program.
