Tutoring
Dyslexia Morgan Hill offers one-on-one tutoring using Foundation In Sounds and the Barton Reading & Spelling System. The Barton System is a tutoring system for children, teenagers, or adults who struggle with spelling, reading, and writing. It is different from conventional reading programs because it is an intensive, evidence-based, structured program grounded in Orton-Gillingham.
