Orton-gillingham (Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wilson: schools, live in, moving to)

[jcampbell05]

Does anyone know of Orton-Gillingham trained individuals working in the area?

I am an Orton-Gillingham individual who is moving to Raleigh this summer. I was also wondering if there was an Orton-Gillingham network in Raleigh.

I am Orton trained and also certified in the Wilson Reading System. I live in N Raleigh.

This is an old post but I was curious if anyone had any updated info on it. I'm possibly looking for a tutor for my son, or info on schools that help kids w/ dyslexia. Thanks.

Hi! I'm a SpEd Teacher (w/15 yrs experience) in the Fayetteville, NC area and I'm earning my Level I Wilson Reading Certification...FABULOUS program! (Sister program to OG) Wasn't sure if the parents above were able to find tutors specializing in working with students with dyslexia, so thought I would post in reference to your previous search. Let me know if I can be of help!

This is an old post, but I am responding because I know that many people will be searching for Orton-Gillingham tutors. Your local International Dyslexia Association branch can provide you with a list of specialists in your area. You can also contact the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators. Wilson maintains its own list of certified practitioners.

A note about Wilson: I would consider it more of a child of OG, rather than a sister. Orton-Gillingham or, quite simply, multisensory language education, is an approach to teaching - not a program. There is no script or set scope and sequence. Wilson is a good program in the right hands, as it is a program based on Orton-Gillingham. Barbara Wilson herself was trained in OG.
