 uctured- literacy approaches have been the most effective for remediating 
 language difficulties. The utilization of technology can make this type of
  instruction a multisensory process that is engaging and explicit while st
 ill maintaining the individualization and diagnostic- prescriptive aspects
  that are its hallmarks. In this presentation\, an Orton- Gillingham Fello
 w and a director of technology share how they have collaborated to include
  technology as an instructive and assistive tool following the traditional
  Orton- Gillingham approach in the small classroom setting.
