Few colleges and universities provide instruction in the Orton-Gillingham Approach. Training is most readily found elsewhere. However, the quality and adequacy of training represented as "Orton-Gillingham" may vary significantly. Indeed, one of the reasons the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators came into being was to provide an objective, professional assessment, by an independent third party, of the quality and adequacy of programs that profess to provide Orton-Gillingham training. The Academy is not in a position to judge the qualifications of non-Academy members, but it can speak with some authority regarding its membership.
Persons accepted into the Academy have met standards set by the Academy under
the authority granted to it by action of the Board of Regents of The University
of the State of New York, for and on behalf of the State Education Department.
As there are different levels of membership, the requirements to be met differ.
The Academy has set its highest standards for those who would train others to be
Orton-Gillingham teachers.
Academy Fellows typically train in one of two areas: (1) some instruct in Academy Accredited Programs, and (2) others train as individuals or with organizations that are not so accredited. All Fellows who train are expected to provide instruction consistent with the high standards promulgated by the Academy. Orton-Gillingham instruction involving Academy Fellows may lead to complete fulfillment of the requirements for admission to Academy membership at the Subscriber, Associate, Certified, or Fellow levels. It may provide only partial fulfillment of Academy membership requirements.
If you are interested in Orton-Gillingham training listed in the following section, you should contact the designated Academy Fellow directly for details. If you think you may be interested in membership in the Academy, discuss this with the Fellow, and ask how the training in question may meet or help meet Academy membership requirements
Accredited
Orton-Gillingham Training Programs
The sites in the
section which follows immediately are current Accredited Training Programs of the
Academy. Persons who receive their Orton-Gillingham training through Accredited
Programs will be able to substantially simplify the documentation required when

If you are interested in Orton-Gillingham training listed in the following sections, you should contact the designated Academy Fellow directly for details. If you think you may be interested in membership in the Academy, discuss this with the Fellow, and ask how the training in question may meet or help meet Academy membership requirements

requirements for the Certified level. In addition to the Certified level
