For what it's worth--- the Mason's run this reading program where they do

the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading, and they do it for FREE.

Whomever could benefit from this-- should contact their local Mason group

(http://www.cherab.org/about/cheryl.html)

" You need to develop a 504 plan with the your son's reading

specialist. If your son/the school doesn't have a reading specialist

you would develop the 504 plan with the principal and the classroom

teacher.

The 504 should address a multi-sensory approach to reading. The

following 3 are typically the most popular:

1. PAF Preventing Academic Failure

2. Orton-Gillingham

3. Reading System

The reading specialist should know the above programs and if not they

are easy enough to look up. The reading specialist should accommodate

the child a minimum of 3 times a week with a maximum on 5 times a week

individual sessions. The basis of the program should assure that the

child receives a thorough effective education. "

I am willing to share some of the tips I used to help my apraxic son

Tanner when he was learning to read as well and I'm sure there are

others here that will help as well. Just quick -One of the best pages

Becky thanks -actually that was part two of this person's question is

that he doesn't have the funds to pay for outside help for his 9 year

old that isn't able to read. The 9 years old is " very frustrated " and

the parent is " very concerned about (his) son's abilities " He told me

that the school was " working very hard and doing all they could " and

wanted to know if reading problems and apraxia are linked. I told him

yes and no -just like our population has a multisensory methods of

learning to speak, many thrive on multisensory methods of learning to

read. I just posted this link to our CHERAB Facebook page

http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=46365917373 & h=aDJqn & u=IHXYh

I pointed out to the father that his son's self esteem is fragile and

while you can teach his son to read once you provide the appropriate

approach for him, it's difficult to correct a damaged self esteem.

Typically the school gives up on the child, then the parent, and then

the child gives up on themselves. To me it sounded like the

possibility that all of the above is at risk.

Is there a link where one can search for a local Mason group? I

checked google and I'm typically pretty good at finding things.

Sharon may not be an exact quote but I asked Cheryl and this is her

response:

Most of the children that are apraxic that are learning to read are at

an age that they are verbal to some extent. They may have problems

with the motor planning of speech, but because you are learning the

sound patterns along with visual cueing in order to remember the sound

they should be a good candidate for Orton Gillingham or any

multisensory approach to reading. Lots of Orton Gillingham is

memorization of sound and symbol for that sound. Lots of motor

movement with the hand along with the mouth. The child learns to

associate movement with the sound.

http://www.orton-gillingham.com/

Cued speech is another method of teaching a child to read and involves

sign language, sound integration and visual verbal cues

(Prompt is a touch cue for example)

http://www.cuedspeech.org/

I'm trying to get some of this info up at Facebook to help more

children who's parents may not be aware of this group. If you want to

help please join and reach out at
