What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a neurological learning difference that affects how the brain processes written language. It makes reading, spelling, and sometimes writing, more challenging. Dyslexia is not caused by low intelligence, laziness, or a vision problem.

Does my child need a diagnosis to begin working with you?

No! In fact, your child does not need to have any learning deficit to benefit from Orton-Gillingham. OG based instruction teaches how the brain actually learns to read, focusing on decoding—the process of connecting letters to sounds to form words. This helps children understand the structure of language, so they can read and spell with confidence. It works well for all learners, whether a child struggles with reading, wants to strengthen their skills, or is just starting out. Every child benefits from learning the rules of language in a clear, step-by-step way, building a strong foundation that supports lifelong literacy.
