Laurie Moloney, CALT, is an academic language therapist certified by the Academic Language Therapy Association. She is co-founder of Decoding Dyslexia DC; co-founder of Readers All, Inc., and instructor for ASDEC's Summer Academic Writing & Study Skills Program. Laurie was president of the DC Capital Area Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (DCIDA) from 2016 to 2021. She is the recipient of The Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. Center for Education, Justice, and Ethics 2019 Education Award and EdReformNow's Inaugural 2022 Equity Champion Award.

Ms. Moloney began her training in 1989 - first at the Tri-Services/National Institute of
Dyslexia and then at the Atlantic Seaboard Dyslexia Education Center (ASDEC) under the tutelage of the late Dr. Betty Levinson, a nationally recognized psychologist and expert in the differential diagnosis of dyslexia; Claire Nissenbaum, M.A., founder of ASDEC, past VP of IDA, Fellow of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators, and founding board member of IMSLEC;  and Sandra Dillon, founder/past-director of the Multisensory Language Training Institute of New Mexico and developer of the Sounds in Syllables (SIS) Multisensory Language Therapy approach. 

Ms. Moloney maintains a private practice, serving students of all ages -- from the mildly 
involved to the severely learning disabled. Her areas of expertise include teaching students  to read, handwrite, and spell fluently; take notes from textbooks, literature, and lecture; enlarge their vocabulary exponentially through the study of Latin and Greek morphemes; read and think critically; write well; manage their time and school materials effectively; remember what they learn through novel memory strategies; and self-advocate. She is motivated by the belief that literacy is a fundamental human right unfairly denied to millions of Americans for a myriad of intolerable reasons.
