Janet George, OGA President of the Board of Trustees, ATFCThis appointment recognizes Colleen as a leading expert in the field, and also speaks to the calibre of our entire Day School Learning Specialist team and Outreach tutors.
The OGA is the gold standard of Orton-Gillingham (OG) instruction. This approach is a hallmark of Fraser Academy’s remediation program and is a key driver in the growth of our students as they learn to live with their dyslexia.
Last year we became the only K-12 OGA accredited instructional program in Canada. We proudly have the highest concentration of OG-certified (level) specialists; the depth of expertise in our faculty is not seen in any other organization across the country.
Please join us in congratulating Colleen on becoming a member of the OGA Board of Trustees.
