Orton-Gillingham for Dyslexia
Learning Curve Tutoring Center is proud to provide Orton-Gillingham multi-sensory techniques and trained tutors for dyslexia and other reading issues. We realize dyslexia is a very complex subject and can be difficult to describe with just a few words. However, general symptoms which are based on research are listed below:
General
Vision, reading, and Spelling
Hearing and Speech
Writing and Motor Skills
