I have completed the associate level OG training course and am a member of the IDA (International Dyslexia Association). The associate level training course meets the requirements of the academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators Associate level curriculum. During this time I was working as a learning specialist at Fraser Academy in Vancouver B.C. Canada. The students ranged from grades 2-8 and this hands on experience gave me valuable knowledge in the implementation of the OG approach.
