Is this an screening tool that can be used by someone who is not an LD specialist? Where do I find it? (I did a Google search with little luck). Also, I have read books about the Orton Gillingham, but maybe I need more training in this because I have a hard time in a classroom setting getting students to use the tactile/auditory (which is usually what they need most) because they seem to become embarrased. Do others do this in a classroom setting or is the Orton Gillingham approach usually used in one on one tutoring? Michele > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
