Program Overview
The mission of Lighthouse Dyslexia Academy is to foster community-wide awareness of dyslexia, to identify children with the characteristics of dyslexia, and to provide an academic rich, research-based, multi-sensory, educational environment to include positive experiences that challenge students while building necessary skills for academic and personal success.
The Lighthouse Academy for Dyslexia's reading program is designed to remediate the specific disability of dyslexia using Orton-Gillingham based methodology that provides multi-sensory, explicit, direct instruction of English phonology. The principles of instruction and content in Orton-Gillingham based therapy are essential for effective reading remediation for the dyslexic student. The organization of instructional material follows the logical order of the English language sequencing from the easiest, most basic elements and progressing methodically to more difficult material. It is a cognitive approach, teaching students to think through language problems when reading, writing, and spelling.
