Reading & Literacy (Orton–Gillingham Approach)

We support children and adults with dyslexia and other reading challenges through the Orton–Gillingham (OG) approach—a proven, structured, and multisensory method designed to build strong foundations in literacy.

Who it helps:

Patients who show signs such as:
  • Difficulty decoding words
  • Poor spelling
  • Slow or labored reading
  • Avoidance of reading tasks

Our method:

Each program is tailored to the learner’s unique needs, using strategies that engage multiple senses to reinforce phonics, fluency, spelling, and comprehension.

The Orton–Gillingham (OG) approach is a structured, cumulative, and multisensory method for teaching reading, writing, and spelling. It’s especially effective for students with dyslexia and other reading disorders.

  • Explicit & Systematic Instruction
  • Multisensory Learning: Engages visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways
  • Focus on Phonemic Awareness, Fluency & Comprehension
  • Backed by Decades of Research

Our enhanced OG program includes advanced elements to further support literacy development:

  • Phonological Awareness & Fluency Training
  • Morphology & Syllable Structure
  • Multisyllabic Word Reading
  • Integrated Writing Supportry
Depending on the unique needs of each child or adult, we may incorporate the following evidence-based methods into therapy:
  • Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): Evidence-based intervention to teach communication, academic, and behavior regulation skills, especially for children with autism.
  • DIR®/Floortime Approach: A play-based, relationship-driven model for supporting emotional and cognitive growth.
  • Non-Instrumental Swallowing Evaluations: Comprehensive, hands-on assessments to evaluate feeding or swallowing challenges—without the need for imaging.

Caregiver Involvement

We work closely with caregivers to build strong literacy habits at home and provide practical tools for continued progress outside of therapy.
