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 of Dyslexia Resources is the only independent, non-profit center in the Northwest accredited by the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators.

WHAT IS ORTON-GILLINGHAM?

Classic Orton-Gillingham is an alternative, 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.
