At Lindsay Lane Christian Academy, we believe that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14–16) — including those who learn differently. Our Dyslexia Support Program is a Christ-centered initiative designed to empower early elementary students with dyslexia through evidence-based, compassionate instruction. The program is led by Laura Clem, Dyslexia Program Director, who brings experience, training, and a deep commitment to helping students thrive.
Grounded in the renowned Orton-Gillingham approach, our program provides structured, sequential, and multisensory teaching, tailored to the needs of young learners. We serve students primarily in the early grades, where intervention is most impactful, equipping them with foundational tools for reading, writing, and spelling success.

Key Features of the Program:
- Orton-Gillingham Approach: Our instruction follows the proven Orton-Gillingham approach, which is phonics-based, personalized, and highly effective for students with dyslexia.
- Multi-Sensory Learning: Students engage in tactile, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities to reinforce literacy skills in ways that align with how their brains learn best.
- Specialized Instruction: The program offers a blend of individual tutoring and small group classroom-alternative instruction. In small groups, we utilize the SPIRE Intervention Program, a structured literacy curriculum that supports mastery through explicit, systematic, and multisensory instruction.
- Certified Educators: Instruction is delivered by trained and certified teachers with ongoing professional development in the Orton-Gillingham approach and dyslexia-specific instruction.
- Christ-Centered Support: We nurture the whole child — spiritually, emotionally, and academically — recognizing that true growth happens when students feel seen, valued, and supported.
Whether a student is just beginning their dyslexia journey with a new diagnosis or preparing to transition into upper school with continued support and accommodations, our Dyslexia Support Program is designed to meet their needs with expert instruction and Christ-centered care.
