Deepening Our Understanding of the Language–Literacy Connection
I am extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to hear Tatyana Elleseff speak on the critical connection between language acquisition and literacy development. As a Certified Academic Language Practitioner, my training has equipped me with strong tools for teaching struggling readers; however, I have consistently observed that some students present with more complex literacy challenges, particularly when early language acquisition has been impacted. Tatyana provided clear, practical, and research-aligned insights that deepen my understanding of these profiles and offer concrete strategies I can integrate within a structured literacy framework. I am grateful for a knowledgeable voice shining a light on this often-overlooked link and for supporting dyslexia practitioners like me in continually refining our instruction to better meet the needs of all learners.
Informative and interesting…you can tell that her heart is in it!
She spoke to a group of Academic Language Therapists in Texas and we were all so impressed with her breadth of knowledge about the reading process and development of language in children. I sent her an email with some outstanding questions and she wrote me a very thoughtful response. I appreciate her sharing her time and insight with us.
Everything I hoped for and much more
I contacted Tatyana for a consult on a treatment plan for a complex case. I got so much more than that. The level of depth with which she reviewed and analyzed my data was invaluable – she not only suggested additional assessment measures but also provided a wealth of tools, ideas, and a clear direction moving forward. Her expertise and conviction were crucial in shaping my own understanding. I highly recommend her services to both new and seasoned SLPs. I will be back for more help. Thank you so much Tatyana!
Assessment and Intervention for Language and Literacy

She is an engaging speaker with clear expertise in this subject matter.
