  • Therapy

    We support individuals who struggle with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, specific learning disabilities, and other academic challenges through structured educational therapy sessions. Our specialized program provides individual and small group therapy sessions that are subjectively developed for the direct instruction of each individual. Students are taught to utilize their auditory, visual, and kinesthetic pathways to enhance memory and learning. These structured literacy therapy sessions focus on the foundational skills of language, such as phonology, phonics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, and comprehension. Certified and licensed therapists use direct instruction to effectively teach the skills necessary for decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Additionally, other essential components, including handwriting, phonological awareness, encoding, and advanced language structure, are incorporated based on the specific needs of each individual.

Testimonials

  • As a first grade teacher for 24 years, I found Heather's Structured Literacy training to be insightful, useful, and impactful. From phonemic awareness to phonics concepts, her instruction will give you the tools necessary to engage and instruct students in reading, spelling, and dictation. After using it in the regular classroom, my test scores increased significantly, as did the student’s reading confidence and involvement. Classroom teachers, Title 1 instructors, and tutors need this course. Whether students are dyslexic or not, the Orton-Gillingham instruction is the best instruction for ALL students.

    Karen Morrish, First grade teacher

  • "As an Intervention Specialist, Orton-Gillingham training has truly transformed the way I teach reading to my first graders. The structured, multisensory approach has not only strengthened my own instruction, but it’s also helped me better meet each student where they are. By incorporating individualized strategies and systematically introducing as well as reinforcing key reading skills, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my students' understanding of foundational literacy concepts. It’s been incredibly rewarding to watch their confidence and abilities grow. This training has provided a powerful shift in how I support early readers.
