Dyslexia intervention is highly individualized and based on a child’s unique profile.  The instructional approach is multisensory, explicit, systematic, diagnostic, and prescriptive, and is often referred to as Orton-Gillingham instruction or Structured Literacy.  This approach ensures that students build their skills in each of the components of literacy:

• Phonemic awareness
• Sound-symbol association
• Syllable instruction
• Decoding (word reading)
• Encoding (spelling)
• Morphology (prefixes, suffixes, bases and roots)
• Syntax (sentence structure)
• Semantics (word meaning)

Structured Literacy sessions are provided both in-person at the Language & Literacy Clinic or on Zoom.  Lessons are generally 45 to 60 minutes in length; 30-minute sessions are available for younger children as needed.  Parents may be asked to follow through with additional home practice activities to provide necessary repetition for learning.
