Orton Gillingham is a unique approach to teaching reading through multisensory, sequential, and individualized instruction.  Through multisensory instruction, the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic neural pathways are all accessed in one OG lesson.  Orton Gillingham helps instill confidence and allows students to have fun with reading.

You are welcome to watch the recording of a parent presentation that I provided through the Glen Ridge Special Services parent training initiative. In this recording I explain what dyslexia is and what it is not (min. 2:34), the different types of dyslexia (min. 9:22), and the experience of individuals with dyslexia as well as secondary consequences of dyslexia (min. 15:02).

In this recording, I also explain the research behind best practices for supporting students with dyslexia (min. 26:49), how we provide those supports in our school district (min. 30:50), and how you can support your child at home (min. 40:58).
