Reading Intervention
Structured, systematic, multisensory reading intervention for beginning readers and individuals with dyslexia. Evidence-based Orton-Gillingham methodology.
The Orton-Gillingham Approach
Orton-Gillingham is the gold standard for reading intervention, especially for individuals with dyslexia.
This structured, systematic, multisensory approach teaches reading by engaging visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways simultaneously. Each lesson builds on the previous one, ensuring mastery before moving forward.
Our therapists are trained in Orton-Gillingham methodology and tailor every session to the individual learner's needs, pace, and learning style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Orton-Gillingham approach?
Orton-Gillingham is a structured, sequential, multisensory approach to teaching reading. It uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways simultaneously to help learners connect sounds with letters and words. It is considered the gold standard for dyslexia intervention.
Who benefits from reading intervention?
Reading intervention is beneficial for children and adults with dyslexia, reading difficulties, or anyone who is struggling with decoding, fluency, or reading comprehension. It is also effective for beginning readers who need additional support beyond classroom instruction.
How often are sessions and how long does intervention last?
Sessions are typically held 1-2 times per week. The duration of intervention varies depending on the individual but most clients see significant improvement within a few months of consistent sessions.
Can reading intervention help adults?
Yes. Adults who struggle with reading, whether due to dyslexia or other factors, can benefit significantly from structured reading intervention. Our approach is adapted for adult learners while maintaining the evidence-based methodology.
How is this different from tutoring?
Unlike tutoring, which typically focuses on homework help and grade-level content, reading intervention addresses the underlying skills needed for reading success. Our Orton-Gillingham based approach is therapeutic and evidence-based, targeting the root cause of reading difficulties rather than just the symptoms.
