The Specialized Language Development (SLD) Center , a community resource of West Michigan, is committed to bringing the power of reading, writing and spelling to all individuals with dyslexia or other unique learning styles, enabling them to achieve their full potential.

This approach includes:

• Multisensory reinforcement
• Phonological awareness
• Structured phonics
• Rules of language structure
• Reading comprehension
• Sequential and cumulative approach

All tutors have bachelor's degrees and teaching experience and have completed extensive Phonics Fundamentals© training based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. As a non-profit community service organization, we help students experience success -- often for the first time -- in their effort to read, write and spell.
