Our center provides explicit, systematic and individualized instruction to students of all ages and abilities. We help children overcome learning differences including Dyslexia, ADHD/ADD and working memory deficits. Our trained learning specialists specialize in the Orton-Gillingham Approach and will cater each session to your child’s individual needs. What is the Orton-Gillingham Approach? This type of program combines multi-sensory techniques along with the structure of the English language. Those items taught include: phonemes and morphemes, such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots. Common spelling rules are introduced as well. Multi-sensory education incorporates the three learning pathways, which are: auditory, kinesthetic, and visual. This approach is beneficial not only for students with dyslexia, but for all learners. It can be implemented in a large group setting as well as with individuals, small groups and at-risk populations. Often Orton-Gillingham is interpreted as an approach only meant for reading remediation; however, the multi-sensory component impacts all children. The uniqueness of this type of instruction is that it allows the educator to capitalize on an individual student’s dominant learning modality while delivering instruction that will strengthen the remaining learning pathways. – Institute for Multi-Sensory Education
