ACCESS academic therapists are certified in the Dubard Association Method®, a nationallyrecognized multisensory teaching-learning strategy designed for children with language deficiencies. Therapists also utilize components of other Orton-Gillingham-based approaches.
ACCESS academic therapy offers a multi-faceted approach to address oral and written expression difficulties, supporting students with tools and strategies to organize ideas and compensate for spelling or fine motor deficits that might make writing difficult.
Academic therapists are able to identify math weaknesses and provide strategies and tools to compensate for visual-spatial, language-based, procedural, or memory difficulties in math skill development. Therapists match strategies to student strengths as they target basic math skills.
Some students find that studying, along with the organization of schoolwork, can be very overwhelming. ACCESS therapists introduce students to various tools and strategies to improve note-taking, extract important information from texts, and break down assignments or projects into manageable steps.
