This is really exciting - a program that recognizes and uses an approach
that brings success to every learner without classification that they are
"dyslexic."  So many struggling readers learned to cope without
understanding how English is structured - a system of 44 sounds based on 26
letters.  I founded and directed a small program on Long Island in 1986 (no
longer existing now that I live in San Francisco since 2004).  That program
developed tutors and helped an underserved population using an Orton
Gillingham approach.  Wilson and other programs derive from O-G.

Thank you for posting this item. It is sure to be of help to others.

  Another excellent resource in the Washington DC area is the Washington
Literacy Council, a non-profit which pairs tutors with students and also
provides intensive reading instruction. Their phone number is: 202-387-9029.
The website is: www.washingtonliteracycouncil.org
