Hello there!

Welcome to Language and Literacy Clinic of Manitoba

Our tailored masterclasses and products remove the stress of juggling multiple sources that leave you feeling overwhelmed.

With one-on-one support, access to resources, and straightforward methods for teaching reading, we specialize in giving YOU the foundation and framework you need to feel confident in supporting learners with Dyslexia, Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), and other reading-related diagnoses.

All of our work uses a Structured Literacy framework based in the Science of Reading.

Empowering educators and families, our mission is to bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that every child receives an education tailored to their unique cognitive needs. We champion change management in educational systems, upholding consistent standards while adapting support strategies based on individual backgrounds and requirements. Through targeted caregiver and educator training and collaborative partnerships with schools, we strive to implement inclusive practices that foster a dynamic and equitable learning environment for all.

Our Vision

We envision a future where equitable access to resources and personalized support transforms literacy outcomes within underserved populations. Our commitment extends beyond interventions, as we advocate for policy changes, provide crucial resources to educators and parents, and collaborate with community organizations. In this vision, language and literacy supports seamlessly integrate into educational systems, leveraging technology for widespread accessibility. Through community collaboration, our goal is to create an inclusive and equitable educational landscape where every student thrives, regardless of social or cultural contexts.

We acknowledge with respect and humility that we live and work on Treaty 1 & 2 Territory and the Metis Homeland, the traditional lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Assiniboine, Dakota, Dene, and Metis Peoples, and recognize the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous peoples to this land.

As an organization, we are dedicated to actively supporting initiatives that promote the rights and well-being of Indigenous peoples. Through our work, we strive to contribute to a future where educational opportunities are accessible to all, acknowledging the importance of respecting the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous nations. We recognize the need for continuous learning, reflection, and action to create an inclusive and equitable environment.
