Out-of-State Reciprocity
Out-of-state candidates seeking certification from other states as reading specialists or dyslexia therapists should consult with their respective State Education agencies about specific licensure standards and exam requirements. All candidates are strongly advised to consult closely with a graduate advisor for details regarding their program, concentration, and opportunities for certification and licensure.
The Dyslexia Therapist graduate certificate is a 12 credit hour post-baccalaureate program designed for teachers to become certified by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) as dyslexia therapists. This certificate meets ADE competencies defined by Arkansas Law as provided in ACT 1294 of 2013. Aligned with standards of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), the International Literacy Association (ILA), and the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC), this program provides teachers with the knowledge and skills to work effectively with students experiencing moderate to severe reading difficulties including dyslexia. Additional information can be obtained from the Department of Teacher Education website or from the UALR Center for Literacy website.
