Our tutors work collaboratively with Valdine Bjornson (EdD Candidate, FIT/AOGPE, & Certified Reading Clinician) for all of our RLCM students. Our tutors work under my guidance and have taken my OG professional training. As a Fellow-in-Training, I am an independent practitioner who is qualified to train and supervise others in the Orton-Gillingham Approach as well as provide instruction for the dyslexic learner (Tier 3). The tutoring will be provided by the tutor designate but I will be overseeing, guiding, and supervising the work.

Our tutoring team focuses upon diagnostic and prescriptive lessons which encourage confidence and engagement alongside skill development.

If you would like to proceed, please contact for the intake form - readinglearningclinicmanitoba@gmail.com

We can then discuss this further by phone or zoom for our initial consultation and informal intake assessment (30 minutes free).

Also please let your child's school know that I provide teacher training (and hold a parent spot for each training session). Please click here.

Jordan's Principle makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them. Funding can help with a wide range of health, social and educational needs, including the unique needs that First Nations Two-Spirit and LGBTQQIA children and youth and those with disabilities may have.

Jordan's Principle is named in memory of Jordan River Anderson. He was a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba.

What is covered?

Jordan's Principle responds to unmet needs of First Nations children no matter where they live in Canada.

Different levels of government fund different services for First Nations children. As a result, it can be hard to figure out how to access necessary products, services and supports.

Under Jordan's Principle, we can:

• inform families about the help available for their child and how to access it

• coordinate access to products, services and supports

• provide funding when it's needed to make sure products, services and supports are accessed without delay
