Professional Development
As a Fellow-in-Training (FIT/AOGPE) with the Academy of Orton Gillingham Practitioners and Educators, I am able to provide:
• accredited training for official membership with the Orton-Gillingham Approach (Orton-Gillingham Academy) in coordination with my Fellow mentor (Dawn Nieman, ATF/OGA).
I have founded the Reading and Learning Clinic of Manitoba in order to provide evidence-based professional development to Manitoba educators as well as advocacy and intervention to students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.
I am also grateful to be part of Teachers for Reading Canada (as Director of Teacher Training) which offers FREE Accredited OGA courses to educators across Canada. Please click here for more information.
