Individuals who have completed Wilson Reading System® (WRS) Level I Certification may seek WRS Level II Certification. This advanced WRS coursework provides in-depth strategies to expand knowledge and practice of the Wilson Reading System.
Completion of WRS Level II Certification makes one eligible to receive the professional credential of Wilson® Dyslexia Therapist (W.D.T.).

The other track focuses on teaching students at advanced levels of decoding and encoding (WRS Steps 7-12):
The tracks may be completed in either order (Group then Steps 7-12 or vice versa) or during the same period of time. Availability of appropriate practicum student(s) may help determine which option is best for your situation.

Successful completion of all four advanced courses results in WRS Level II Certification and eligibility to receive the professional credential of Wilson® Dyslexia Therapist (W.D.T.), but this does not qualify one as a Wilson® Credentialed Trainer. Wilson commends educators who demonstrate the dedication and expertise needed to reach this high level of achievement. A WRS Level II Certified individual is eligible for the Wilson Dyslexia Therapist (W.D.T.) credential. This credential recognizes individuals as prepared to diagnostically teach students identified with a language‐based learning disability, such as dyslexia, at advanced levels of encoding and reading and in group settings. This W.D.T. credential is valid for five years and must be renewed every five years after successfully completing re‑credentialing activities and coursework.
