My son (grade 10) has been instructed in Orton, the Orton instructer is no longer available and the school would like to use a Wilson trained individual. Any thoughts? thanks
Re: Orton vs. Wilson
WIlson and Orton are both structured, multisensory language programs. There are some differences; I *would* ask just how much training the Wilson person has and whether they have really bought into it; sometimes a “wilson trained” person got the training late and figures that they can just toss a few Wilson snippets into what they already do and call it multisensory… which is counter to Orton-Gillingham philosophy and usually much less effective.
Wilson is an Orton program. It should be fine.
