OUR MISSION

The Blosser Center’s mission is to help students with dyslexia reach their potential through the power of literacy.

ABOUT US

​The Blosser Center was founded in 2000 to continue the educational and advocacy work of Dorothy Blosser Whitehead, M.S., a nationally recognized leader in establishing standards for reading specialists. 

​Our practitioners have extensive training and experience using the Orton-Gillingham approach to teach literacy to struggling students.
​The Blosser Center for Dyslexia Resources is the only independent, non-profit center in the Northwest accredited by the Orton-Gillingham Academy. 

WHAT IS ORTON-GILLINGHAM?

 Classic Orton-Gillingham is a research-based reading, writing, and spelling curriculum designed specifically for dyslexic readers and others struggling with literacy skills.

The Orton-Gillingham approach provides direct, multi-sensory, structured and sequential instruction to teach literacy to those who are diagnosed with dyslexia.
