​
ASDEC SPECIALISTS TEACH SOUNDS IN SYLLABLES, THE ONLY ORTON-GILLINGHAM BASED program that meets all critieria for an Intensive Tier 3 intervention program in Maryland. The program provides intensive instruction in reading, writing, spelling, and handwriting. Physical movement is added to the visual and auditory stimuli to provide multisensory learning. The hands-on aspect of the structured routines facilitates attention and concentration. The careful development of conceptual understanding and the high level of repetition reinforce memory. All activities build on the mastery of skills, which helps students build self-esteem as they experience success each day.
