Orton-Gillingham

Originally developed by Samuel Torrey Orton (1879-1948), neuropsychiatrist and pathologist, and Anna Gillingham (1878-1963), a gifted educator and psychologist, the Orton-Gillingham approach is a set of teaching principles and practices for children with language processing and reading difficulties. According to the Orthon Academy, over the last half century the Orton-Gillingham approach has been the seminal and most influential intervention designed expressly for remediating the language processing problems of children and adults with dyslexia.
