On behalf of the Orton-Gillingham Academy’s Board of Trustees, I am pleased to invite you to our annual spring conference titled “Diversity in Dyslexia” on Friday, April 5th and Saturday, April 6th, 2019 at the Crowne Plaza in White Plains, New York.
Continuing a long history of exceptional speakers and standards, the Academy is delighted to host the following distinguished keynote speakers:
- Nicole Landi, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, Director, LandiLab, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT and Director of EEG Research, Haskins Laboratories, Yale University, New Haven, CT
- Judith C. Hochman, Ed.D., Creator of the Hochman Method and founder of the Writing Revolution, New York, New York
Our program includes many excellent speakers who will cover a range of topics of interest to OG practitioners, teachers, tutors, speech pathologists, administrators, parents and individuals with dyslexia. Topics include writing, multisensory math, comprehension, vocabulary, and assistive technology, to name a few.
Our conference is a wonderful opportunity to network and reconnect with friends and OG colleagues from all over the United States and Canada.
Please plan to attend and extend an invitation to all of your colleagues and parents of students with whom you work. The conference is open to anyone who works with children or adults who struggle to learn to read, and those interested in learning more about dyslexia and the Orton-Gillingham Approach.
I hope to see you in White Plains.
Sincerely,
Beth McClure, F/OGA
