“Throughout those years, I began to notice a pattern as I worked with children, while using mainstream teaching methods. Those students who struggled in math and language – due to learning disabilities – weren’t adapting or succeeding.

It was heartbreaking to see these children continuing to falter as I aimed to help them. They were not progressing nor receiving the academic support needed through school. Teachers were just not equipped to handle the situations presented by the learning needs of Dyslexic children, and parents were desperate to get help that just wasn’t available.

It soon became clear that conventional approaches to reading instruction were insufficient, restrictive, and not for everyone. Too many children were falling through the cracks, being left behind.

I was amazed to learn that the situations I witnessed could in fact be remedied through the right teaching methods and specialized programs. I continue to be astonished at the improvements this program makes to my students’ reading abilities … all by using the Orton-Gillingham approach.”
