Orton-Gillingham
Orton-Gillingham is a multisensory approach intended for individuals who have difficulty with reading, spelling, and writing associated with a reading learning disability.
In the hands of a well-trained and experienced instructor, it is a powerful tool of exceptional breadth, depth, and flexibility.
The methodology of this approach focuses on multisensory, explicit, and individualized instruction.
The Orton-Gillingham Approach encompasses a fundamental framework of core content and instructional practices, drawing upon two primary sources of its foundation. Firstly, it is rooted in a rich legacy of established knowledge and proven practices that have been successfully utilized for over 70 years. These time-tested approaches have demonstrated their efficacy in empowering learners to develop proficient reading and writing skills. Secondly, the Orton-Gillingham Approach integrates scientific evidence and insights into the cognitive processes and mechanisms through which individuals acquire literacy skills.
