Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the highest quality tutorial services for children with dyslexia. We strive to promote and encourage the education of professionals, tutorial trainees, and the public to become resources in teaching children to read. Through support of clinical research, we aid to advance scientific knowledge of dyslexia to improve today’s standards and tomorrow’s care.
Our Approach
The curriculum we use for tutoring and teacher training is the Orton-Gillingham approach. It is an evidence based, sequential, multi-sensory, phonetic approach that is taught to qualified tutors. We can proudly say that our clinical model incorporates the latest scientific research in the field of reading and spelling education, and dyslexia and dyslexia remediation. The curriculum is tailored to each individual child as necessary and progress is made in small, readily quantifiable steps to equip students with the skills and the confidence they need to be eager and fearless learners.
Our Success
The Dyslexia Center for Children has been actively engaged in tutoring school-aged children in our community and surrounding counties since 1997. Hundreds of students have received one-on-one tutoring in the multi-sensory, evidenced based reading approach, The Orton-Gillingham Approach to Reading. These students exemplify the positive impact early intervention has on the lives of children with dyslexia and their families, and their successes both in and out of the classroom inspires our continued commitment to this program.
