Reading Therapy Center, Who We Are

The Reading Therapy Center, Inc. was established in 2003. Since that time, the Reading Therapy Center,Inc, has expanded and moved to its new location at 615 Becker Avenue Southwest in Willmar, MN.

Student’s underlying processing difficulties are addressed at the Center using the Lindamood-Bell® remedial programs. As a therapy center (vs. a traditional tutoring center) our teaching sessions are one-to-one, intensive, and change the way the student’s brain processes information. We provide students with the basic skills needed to succeed in school and society.

In addition to the Lindamood-Bell® programs, nothing differentiates the Reading Therapy Center, Inc. from other resources more than the involvement of the entire staff with each client. In implementing a plan of action, several staff members work with the client and the entire staff has input. This cooperative effort draws on the perspectives and abilities of a pool of experts.
