Language Skills Therapy

07/07/2026

For 60 years, Language Skills Therapy has stood behind Oregon's Orton-Gillingham tutors — offering the network, referrals, and support that turn training into real, meaningful work.

This summer, Elizabeth Johnson, F/OGA, Director of Literacy Instruction at Edison High School, is leading an Associate-Level Orton-Gillingham training open to educators across Oregon.

If you're an educator ready to become the person who finally reaches a student who's been struggling to read — this is your next step.

📅 Summer intensive: July 20–24 & July 27–29
📍 Hybrid — online or in person at Edison High School, Portland
🎓 Taught by Elizabeth Johnson, F/OGA

Join Language Skills Therapy afterward and tutor your practicum student through our network, and you may qualify for a partial refund on your training costs.
