Teacher and Parent Training 

Simultaneous Multisensory Teaching (SMT) 

            It is a multisensory approach inspired by the Orton-Gillingham method.  This method includes the use of the four modalities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile).  The program includes detailed and complete lesson plans.  They are taught in a systematic and sequential manner, which will promote the literacy skills and success of dyslexic students and non-dyslexic students alike.  This method is not only a valuable approach to teaching reading but also facilitates the learning of language structure.   

            Advantages of the SMT approach: 

·        Highly recommended for use with non-dyslexic students to prevent reading failure and to reduce the need of remedial help in the future.

·        Structured and detailed lesson plans

·        Teachers, tutors & parents can be taught in 14 hours

·        Teachers and tutors can be certified  

Learning techniques and strategies included in the SMT teaching approach: 

·        Sequential exercises

·        Auditory exercises

·        Visual exercises

·        Bimanual reading in Braille dots to develop a “tactile vision”.

·        Direct teaching of non-image words

·        An emphasis on diction
