Our Take Flight Program:
What is Take Flight?
Take Flight is a comprehensive, research-backed intervention program specifically designed to empower students with dyslexia. This two-year curriculum, rooted in the Orton-Gillingham approach, provides structured, multisensory instruction in reading, writing, and spelling.
Empowering Dyslexic Learners
Take Flight is the culmination of decades of research and experience at the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. It builds upon the legacy of Dr. Samuel T. Orton and Anna Gillingham (Orton-Gillingham), pioneers in understanding and addressing dyslexia.
