The Multisensory Language Training Institute of New Mexico (MLTI-NM) is an IMSLEC-accredited training institute (Therapy Level). IMSLEC is an independent accrediting body recognized by the International Dyslexia Association as an approved independent teacher training program and is also recognized by the Academic Language Therapy Association. MLTI-NM prepares professionals to provide intensive, evidence-aligned dyslexia therapy through structured coursework and supervised clinical practice.

MLTI-NM training is designed for professionals who are seeking not only advanced training, but also a recognized credential that reflects depth of knowledge and clinical expertise. For many trainees, this distinction is valuable whether they are working directly with students, serving in leadership or specialist roles within school systems, or developing a private practice.

Successful completion of MLTI-NM training can support pathways toward professional credentials through the Academic Language Therapy Association (ALTA), including certification as a Practitioner (CALP) or Therapist (CALT), for trainees who meet applicable requirements. Training with MLTI-NM may also serve as a route toward earning a New Mexico reading endorsement.

Is this training a good fit?

MLTI-NM training is intended for educators and related professionals who are interested in a clinically grounded, structured approach to working with students who have persistent reading and spelling difficulties, including dyslexia.

This training may be a strong fit if you:

work (or plan to work) with students who have significant literacy challenges
are prepared for a rigorous training experience that includes coursework and supervised application
value mentorship, professional accountability, and fidelity to a structured approach

This training may not be the best fit for those seeking a brief overview of reading instruction or a self-paced, low-commitment program.
