Crimson Wife Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 For future reference in case anyone else ever has an interest in the topic. A lady named Jennifer Montgomery did her doctoral thesis at Columbia on the use of Orton-Gillingham reading for students who are deaf/hard-of-hearing.

imagine.more Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks so much! this definitely supports what we've seen using o-g with our hoh daughter. I've considered utilizing cued speech with it too but wasn't sure if that would fit well with it or not. We were told 12 months ago by her school that we were unrealistic to ask them to put as a goal in her IEP that she would make 1 year of reading progress (from 1.5 to 2.5 grade level) in 12 months. Now I can say that we have made at least a year's progress in the past year and that's with her being diagnosed intellectually disabled with processing difficulties and taking breaks when I went to get trained in O-G this summer and this winter while I've been sick with morning sickness. My hope is to see her on a 4th grade reading level by September and I think she can accomplish that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
