• assist in identifying and catering for the needs of students experiencing learning difficulties.
• advise mainstream teachers on programs they can use in their classrooms and help implement them.
• work with small groups of children to help them learn to read.
• monitor and evaluate program effectiveness.
• provide information about appropriate resources to be used within the school and help ensure each child receives the individual attention they need.
• apply to outside support services for individual assistance with literacy.
• assess and monitor students to provide appropriate programs to be implemented by parents and/or peers.

The STLA supports children from K-6 and strives to attain the best results.
