Abstract

Orthographic instruction (printed cues) is an approach that develops a strong literacy foundation while improving speech intelligibility and language skills. Traditional techniques do not effectively activate the orthographic processor. Early intervention, utilizing orthographic instruction, activates the orthographic processor with printed cues. Students progress quickly; and, therapist/educator workload is decreased.
