We are a public school opening soon in Colorado Springs to students w/ dyslexia. Our students will be taught by Certified Academic Language Therapists.
October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!
Being able to read and write with ease is something most of us simply take for granted. However, this is a problem that affects from 15-20% of the world’s population, making their lives more difficult each and every day.
We understand how difficult the COVID-19 pandemic has been for children, their parents and your child’s education. Our caring teachers and Certified Academic Language Therapists provide a unique learning environment for students with dyslexia.

Share your tips and tricks in the comments ⬇️
1. Determine with your child how long it will take them to do their assignments & then help them prioritize their assignments by creating to-do lists with these deadlines in mind
2. Remove distractions from designated ‘homework area’

This Labor Day, Thank a Teacher ❤️
We are thankful the teachers at Orton Academy. They continue to show up, remain flexible & ensure they are doing everything they can to teach the children at Orton Academy. We sincerely thank you for your dedication to the students of OA!
We know getting back to a routine can be stressful. However, setting up weekly meetings to review your kids’ schedules, can help organize your week ahead! . Create a family (color-coded) calendar that tracks individual activities & commitments together in one calendar.
