One in Five People Struggle With Dyslexia.
Dyslexia is one of the most common learning differences -
yet many educators and families lack access to structured, evidence-based literacy training and support.
Dyslexia & Literacy Advocates was created to provide resources, reduce barriers, and expand local access to Orton-Gillingham training in our community.
Their mission has three components:
-
Student Education & Support - Provide the highest quality, state-of the art, multisensory tutorial reading and written language instruction to children with dyslexia.
-
Educator Certification - Train tutors in the art, science and practice of tutoring children using the Orton-Gillingham approach to multisensory teaching of reading, spelling and writing.
-
Scientific Research - Advance the body of scientific knowledge of dyslexia through support of clinical research, to improve today's standards and tomorrow's care.
