What is MSL/ Orton Gillingham

Originally developed by Dr Samuel Orton and Anna Gillingham in the 1920's, the Orton- Gillingham approach (OG) remains the most effective therapy for the remediation of language based learning difficulties. Also referred to as Multisensory Structured Language (MSL), OG is heralded as "the gold standard for the treatment and remediation of dyslexia" by the Australian Dyslexia Association.
​
Multisensory learning involves visual (seeing), Auditory (hearing) and tactile/kinesthetic (movement) to support learning in dynamic and engaging therapy session.

Learning Difficulties

Learning difficulties are usually neurological in nature meaning they are caused by parts of the brain functioning differently to other learners. 

Learning difficulties often run in families with other members of the extended family experiencing some form of difficulty as well. However, this is not always the case.

Learning difficulties are:

• not related to low intelligence
•  present in all ethnic, socio-economic and cultural groups
• not related to the amount of effort or support provided to the child

Learning difficulties often coexist (have a co morbidity) with other learning disorders.
