RIVERSIDE’S OGA ACCREDITED TRAINING PROGRAM OFFERS TRAINING TO PARENTS, EDUCATORS, AND PROFESSIONALS IN THE COMMUNITY

 

The coursework and workshops are designed to increase understanding of dyslexia and to assist educators and parents working with children with dyslexia or other language-based learning differences.

 

 

Subscriber-level coursework provides an overview of the Orton-Gillingham Approach and background information regarding the causes of dyslexia, symptoms, and diagnosis. The eight hours required for OGA Subscriber Membership is broken into four sessions. We recommend interested parties attend all four sessions.

 

Associate-level coursework  is delivered via a 70-hour class held in the winter. It is for tutors, teachers, parents, and professionals who want in-depth knowledge about the O-G Approach and for individuals who might be interested in seeking Associate Level Certification with the Academy.

 

Certified-level coursework is available via workshops that are conducted at various times throughout the school year. It is for those who have done Associate-level coursework and want more advanced knowledge about the structure of language and how to teach it using the O-G Approach.
