Dyslexia and Orton-Gillingham Resources for Parents
When parents first learn of their child’s dyslexia diagnosis, one of the first and most consistent pieces of advice they hear is, “Get a tutor.” Because schools are struggling to teach reading in many parts of the country, it can be essential to find help for your child outside of school. Here, you’ll find resources for finding a dyslexia tutor.
If you are looking for a certified Orton-Gillingham tutor, you are in the right place. Contact us to discuss whether online Orton-Gillingham tutoring is the right fit for your child.
