About Us

Private tutoring is extremely costly, particularly when it comes to specialized curricula for children with dyslexia. Each year, numerous families in the tri-state area face the extraordinary challenge of finding and funding these life-changing services.

The two campuses operated by Children’s Dyslexia Centers of Cincinnati remove these economic barriers by offering specialized, one-on-one tutoring without financial obligation to the students or their families. Students are accepted without consideration of their financial means, gender, race, ethnicity, or religious background. Professional development for teachers and others who wish to be trained and certified as dyslexia tutors is also provided at no cost to those who are accepted into the training program.

Children’s Dyslexia Centers of Cincinnati operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Generous contributions from local philanthropists Carl and Edyth Lindner, the Dater Foundation, and many others in Greater Cincinnati and the tri-state area help the campuses of the Children’s Dyslexia Centers of Cincinnati to offer these unique services. We are eternally grateful for their support, and we understand that ongoing sustainability means we must earn an increasing number of donations from the community each year. That’s where you can help.

All donations allow Children’s Dyslexia Centers of Cincinnati to continue to provide unparalleled services to those who desperately need our assistance. Your donation will open a world of possibilities and opportunities to capable and dedicated children who have unlimited potential.

OUR MISSION

We help children discover the world through reading. We provide, without financial obligation to the students or their families, state-of-the-art, multisensory tutorial reading and written-language intervention of the highest quality to children who are dyslexic.

We train tutors in the art, science, and practice of using the Orton-Gillingham approach to multisensory teaching of reading, spelling, and writing. We expand literacy training and parent education in the tri-state community.

ORTON-GILLINGHAM

The Orton-Gillingham approach is a structured, multisensory, sequential, and cumulative language-based philosophy. Pioneered by Samuel T. Orton (1879-1948) and Anna Gillingham (1878-1963), it is flexible and infinitely adaptable.

The approach involves action-oriented, one-on-one tutoring sessions that combine visual, auditory, and kinesthetic elements. Reading and spelling are taught simultaneously, and language elements are introduced systematically.

Tutors address vocabulary, sentence structure, composition, and reading comprehension structurally, sequentially, and cumulatively. Students continue to review learned materials as tutors introduce new materials.
