Treatment

Literacy

Orton Gillingham methods are a component of the highly effective evidence-based teaching model that is utilized to provide effective reading intervention. At WordsWorth, the components of effective reading instruction are provided based on a sound understanding of an individual child’s particular learning difficulty.

Therapy is based on thorough assessments and ongoing progress monitoring. Instruction relies on the elements that are proven to have the greatest impact on improving literacy and are based on research studies.  To be effective this instruction will need to be “more explicit and comprehensive, more intensive, and more supportive than that typically provided by schools.” Foorman and Torgeson (2001, p.210).

Executive Function

Executive Functions are the skills a student needs in order to plan actions toward meeting goals, to use information flexibly, to realize the ramifications of behavior, and to make reasonable inferences based on limited information. (Banich, 2009)

We support students in developing the executive function skills they will need to be successful at creating goals, planning and sequencing their actions, integrating new information, and self-monitoring.
