"I have been certified in Orton Gillingham since 2001. Orton Gillingham is considered the gold standard for teaching students with dyslexia and other reading disorders. Your child will be assessed to find where his or her strengths and weaknesses are and depending where your child needs help, lessons can focus on letter to sound recognition, blending and segmenting words, decoding, spelling, fluency and reading comprehension.

I am a licensed social worker in an educational setting and have worked with children and adults with varying disabilities for almost 20 years. I pursued certification in Orton Gillingham when my son was diagnosed with dyslexia at 8 years old. I have been tutoring using Orton Gillingham for 3 years and nothing brings me greater joy than watching my students become more confident in their abilities and how that translates to all aspects of their lives." less...
