The Adirondack Reading Center effectively helps all individuals with profound, severe, moderate and mild developmental dyslexia as well as helping their families understand developmental dyslexia. We are the only Reading Center in the United States and Canada that involves the student’s family in the direct treatment of their loved one’s dyslexia.
We provide effective and extraordinarily comprehensive reading services.
We strongly believe, since we began serving the needs of students with dyslexia in 1981, the dyslexic population is one of the most unacknowledged, unidentified and under-served populations in all of public education. Dyslexia is so misunderstood that children, adolescents and adults who could otherwise be taught to read, write and spell are tragically left as unteachable, behavioral problems and condemned to illiteracy.
Our instructor was trained in the Orton Gillingham approach by medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and neurologists from top hospitals including the Mayo Clinic. and have successfully used this medical model for treating developmental dyslexia. This is not only the primary difference in the quality, training and provision of the services we offer. We are also trained in the psychological and emotional components of having dyslexia and are qualified in counseling and psychotherapy for individuals with dyslexia.
The Adirondack Reading Center is a learning center specializing in the highest quality reading support and services for all school aged children, adolescents, and adults.
The Adirondack Reading Center offers the highly successful Orton-
Gillingham remediation approach.
The Orton-Gillingham approach is a language-based, sequential, highly structured, and multi-sensory reading remediation methodology.
The Orton-Gillingham approach is a research proven program effective for teaching reading to elementary, intermediate, high school students and adults who have mild, moderate, and severe dyslexia.
There is no magical cure for dyslexia, but many thousands of children who otherwise may remain illiterate have been taught to read successfully through receiving the Orton-Gillingham approach.
This remediation method is proven to be the most effective approach to help defeat the largest obstacles for students who view reading as a discouraging challenge. Many students, before attending the Adirondack Reading Center, have shown only limited reading improvement with other reading programs.
