The mission of the Dyslexia Tutoring Program is to teach low-income children and adults with dyslexia or a language-based learning difference to read. This is accomplished
through a professional
screening assessment
and tutoring by
volunteers whom
we have trained
in The Orton-
Gillingham
method of reading,
writing, and spelling.
