What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in  origin caused by different wiring of the brain. It is characterized by  difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor  spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result  from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often  unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of  effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include  problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that  can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

There  is no cure for dyslexia and individuals with this condition must learn  coping strategies. With the right instruction most  individuals with  dyslexia can learn to read and go on to accomplish great things. 

There  is no relationship to general intelligence and individuals with  dyslexia are neither more nor less intelligent than the general  population.

For more information please refer to the International Dyslexia Association

What is the Orton-Gillingham approach?

 

The multi-sensory approach engages learners through visual, auditory,  kinesthetic and tactile techniques. The learning sequence is systematic  and takes the student step-by-step from basic concepts that progress to  more complex language functions.

For more information refer to the Academy of Orton-Gilingham Practitioners and Educators 

What is the Phono-Graphix Method?

The Phono-Graphix reading method has been proven 98% effective at  addressing reading problems at any age or ability level. Phono-Graphix  is research based, developmentally appropriate, simple and concrete, It  uses a phonetic-linguistic approach to teaching reading.

Our Dyslexic Children 2020

  In 2010, a group of parents in a suburban school district near Columbus, Ohio discovered their children had something in common - they could not read. They were languishing in a reading intervention program and their dyslexia was not being identified or remediated as is required by federal law under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The group banded together to form the grassroots organization, Upper Arlington Kids Identified with Dyslexia (UA-KID). Together they filed a systemic, group complaint with the Ohio Department of Education and the district was found in violation on all three allegations. Then, they formed a partnership with the district and now work shoulder to shoulder to deliver the nationally recognized early literacy program they built together.  This film was made to offer a roadmap for parents to advocate on behalf of all children.  

The Big Picture...Rethinking Dyslexia

 The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia provides personal and uplifting  accounts of the dyslexic experience from children, experts and iconic  leaders, such as Sir Richard Branson and financier Charles Schwab.  Directed by James Redford, the film not only clears up the  misconceptions about the condition, but also paints a picture of hope  for all who struggle with it. Proving that dyslexia is a neurological  issue and not a character flaw, The Big Picture beautifully illustrates  that while the condition is an obstacle, it also carries some unique  advantages, and ultimately can be overcome. 

Dyslexia has no relationship to general intelligence

"Dyslexia is not a disease to have and be cured of, but a way of thinking and learning. Often it's a gifted mind waiting to be found and taught."
