Remembrances

The history of OGA and the people who contributed to its success will always be remembered. To help people new to the Academy as well as long time members appreciate the OG practitioners of the past, we added this page to pay tribute to OG pioneers and their contribution to the Academy, the OG Approach and to the many dyslexic individuals they served and continue to serve through their legacy.

Check back often as we add more remembrances for OG Founding Fellows, Honorary Fellows and other important people who have contributed to the Academy’s longevity.
