About Scottish Rite Learning Center in Newton, MA
In the 1950s, the first Scottish Rite program was established in Colorado to help children with speech and language disorders. The program proved to be immensely successful, resulting in the opening of more than 170 clinics throughout the U.S. to provide diagnostic evaluation and treatment of speech and language disorders, as well as other learning disabilities. Fast forwarding to 2003, the first Canadian Scottish Rite literacy program was piloted in London Ontario. This program was also a hit, leading to the subsequent opening of seven more Canadian learning centers. Thanks to the Scottish Rite program, children with speech and language disorders, as well as other learning disabilities, can now access comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and treatment in the U.S. and Canada. This program has been a godsend for many parents who can now get the help their children need to reach their full potential.

Assistive Technology for Dyslexia
The iPad's speech to text capacity alone adds a lot of value for us since writing is such a difficult task. Speaking a short assignment instead of writing it makes it fun rather than a chore. Also, we're experimenting with iWordQ and have been impressed by its predictive writing help. By suggesting the next word and correct spelling the first book report worked up very quickly!
