The Slingerland® Institute for Literacy received its first Accreditation from IMSLEC in 2001. The Institute is accredited to certify individuals at the Teaching Level and at the Instructor of Teaching Level.

Alternative Text2. The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) accredits programs that prepare teachers of reading and/or programs that specialize in preparing teachers to work with students who have reading difficulties and disabilities. One of IDA’s long term goals is to inform the public regarding the knowledge base required for skilled reading instruction. Another is to define the specific teaching capabilities that should characterize any person responsible for teaching students with dyslexia and related reading difficulties, and to identify programs that meet the standards.
