ALTA does not determine or dictate curricular content at this time. The only specified requirements are the basic minimum requirement of 150 hours of Orton-Gillingham based curriculum covering 7 competency areas, 700 teaching hours, demonstration of therapy competency, written reports and a registration exam as required by Article III, Section 2(a) and (3) of the Bylaws. The ALTA Centers Council, composed of at least one representative from each ALTA Center Affiliate (CA) determines the curriculum content and academic standards of programs.
