Blairwood Academy is a fully trained alternative school based on a multi-sensory approach called "Orton Gillingham". We provide services for students with Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, Autism, Visual and Auditory processing delays as well as students with other learning, physical and social setbacks.

"In the 1930's neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton and educator, psychologist Anna Gillingham developed the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction for students with Dyslexia. This theory combines multi-sensory techniques along with the structure of the English language. Those items taught include: phonemes and morphemes such as prefixes, suffixes and roots. Common spelling rules are introduced as well. Multi-sensory education incorporates the three learning pathways which are: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. This approach is beneficial not only for students with Dyslexia, but for all learners. It can be implemented in a large group setting as well as with individuals, small groups and at-risk populations. The methodology allows for implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI) at all levels while allowing for differentiation of instruction.

Often, Orton Gillingham is interpreted as a methodology only meant for reading remediation. Undoubtedly, the multi-sensory component impacts all children. The uniqueness of this type of instruction is that it allows the educator to capitalize on an individual student's dominant learning modality while delivering instruction that will strengthen the remaining learning pathways."
