Read for Life Clinic specializes in remediation and targeted instruction through secure online webinars using Orton-Gillingham Based and Structured Multi-Sensory Instruction for children with dyslexia, reading and writing delays, and ADHD. We provide individualized therapeutic instruction and support in reading and writing delays, deficits in phonological awareness, short term memory, and auditory processing. For students with severe memory and attention deficits, we recommend beginning with COGMED Working Memory Training, an evidence-based
program for helping children, adolescents, and adults sustainably improve attention by training their working memory. This greatly enhances learning in all other areas of school and life. For reading and written language, the Orton-Gillingham methodology utilizes phonetics and emphasizes visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. Instruction begins by focusing on the structure of language and gradually moves towards reading. The program provides students with immediate feedback and a predictable sequence that integrates reading, writing, and spelling. The ability to read, write, and communicate is crucial to the success of all students, and is essential to success in our society. These academic skills lay the foundation for all learning. The methods used by Read for Life Clinic give students the confidence and skills to be successful readers, communicators, and learners. We provide diagnostic, individualized instruction that is specific to your child's needs and learning style. We are dedicated to becoming partners with you in helping your child improve memory, reading , oral and written language, and auditory processing. Working with families and classroom teachers, we strive to build a solid foundation for your child’s learning success.
