2024-25 Courses

With the retirement of Dr. Lynne Fitzhugh, director of the MAT Dyslexia Specialist Program at Colorado College, the Education Department at CC has decided to pause admission into the program for one year. We will not be accepting applications for the summer 2025 start date.
 
Dr. Fitzhugh's leadership and passion for the essential field of dyslexia therapy and literacy intervention has been invaluable and we want to honor the integrity of her work. We are taking this one year pause to be thoughtful and deliberate about the future of the program. Our goal is to strategically support individuals interested in dyslexia therapy and current K12 educators in reading and literacy intervention. Please reach out to Debra Yazulla Mortenson, Director of Teacher Educator Programs with any questions. We are excited to continue this work.

While the department will not offer Year 1 Summer 2025 classes, the planned calendar is available below for informational purposes. The Year 2 course schedule for 2025-26 remains the same.

Please contact Debra Yazulla Mortenson at dmortenson@coloradocollege.edu with any questions you may have.
