The Hill Center, a North Carolina (US) program for students with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders that predicates its efforts on the Orton-Gillingham model, has gotten positive press in a story headlined “Reading program produces: The pilot effort has helped Durham elementary schoolers become proficient” by Samiha Khanna of the Raleigh (NC, US) News and Observer. Ms. Khanna’s story describes how the Hill Center’s efforts have aided students who attend the center as well as those in local schools.

I am glad to see the Hill Center recognized. Ms. Shari Maskel of the Hill Center has been a member of the advisory board for TeachingLD.org since its inception. (Some of the three readers of LD Blog will recognize that I’m also associated with TeachingLD.org.) It’s nice to be connected with her successes.
