Dyslexia Specialist,
Teacher, and Mentor
Inspiring Educators
Across the Country
Maryann Chatfield, a dyslexia specialist and Fellow of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators has trained and mentored many practitioners in the Orton- Gillingham Approach. An experienced educator, Maryann has spent years honing her skills. She has extensive experience teaching students with dyslexia how to read using the Orton-Gillingham (OG) Approach while helping to implement OG teaching techniques and procedures into reading programs across the country.
My goal is to encourage and inspire schools, teachers, and tutors all over the world to learn and introduce the Orton-Gillingham Approach into their reading repertoire as a more viable option for struggling readers.
"There are so many people I need to thank for where I am today. Without Ms. Chatfield I really don't know where I would be and so many other teachers as well. You guys are the reason I never give up, and I never am down about being dyslexic. I kept it a secret but with help from my Kildonan friends and teachers like you, I am so proud to be dyslexic. I could not think of not being dyslexic because if makes me who I am - a smart girl. It took me 4 years to say it and ever since then I always admit it. You guys have showed me so much, and I will always thank you for that. Without my friends and my teachers like Maryann Chatfield I don't know how I would be doing in school today, but today I can finally say that I can read and write and I am working hard for it. Thank you so much."
