Imagine, Empower, Thrive.
At Kefi, we provide innovative and integrated services for children from birth to 18 who require literacy support. All of our literacy interventionists are Orton-Gillingham certified. This systematic, sequential, multisensory, and highly engaging approach has been clinically proven to improve your child’s reading abilities for all children.
Whether you’re looking to support a lagging skill or gap or require more intensive literacy support, we welcome you to learn more about this approach and how we can help your child learn to read with confidence.
What is Orton Gillingham?
