Who is this for?

Children with any language/speech disorders, especially dyslexia, auditory process disorders etc.

The Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing or LiPS is a teaching program for children who struggle with reading, writing or other language speech developments. The program offers one-on-one classes using multisensory approaches in helping students develop phonemic awareness through articulatory feedback and oral-motor movements. Students are taught based on their specific learning needs and instructors are focused on providing a well-balanced comfortable environment for them to develop their language skills.

Second, what is the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing (LiPS)?
