How to train and accredit.

Choose from two pathways to target the type of OG you will practise.

Other options for OG Canada accreditation and membership:

You have taken Orton Gillingham Practitioner training elsewhere.

Stream B Application

If you already hold Orton-Gillingham accreditation or have completed your training and practicum through another accrediting body, you may apply to OG Canada through the Stream B application pathway.

The Stream B pathway allows for an individualised review of your credentials and qualifications.

You will be asked to complete a probation period, provide evidence of your training, meet with our board members, and submit a recorded Orton-Gillingham session.

If your training meets our standards you will be placed in the academy at Supporter, Classroom Educator, Practitioner Associate-Interim, Practitioner Associate, Supervisor, Trainer-Interim level depending on your training and experience.

Application through the Stream B program is outlined in our Practitioner Application policy.

You live outside of Canada.

Applicants from outside of Canada are welcome in OG Canada. As an international member you will have access to all the resources on our website, through our newsletter and you may attend our virtual professional development either on the day, or any time for 2 weeks after using the recorded link that is provided.

Supporter and Classroom Educator members apply through the same process as domestic applicants.
