retirement as an IBM district manager to create the company.
"My two sons experienced the symptoms of poor readers and dyslexic children",
he says. "My wife and I had a troublesome time trying to figure out what to do
about the situation our children were experiencing. Their self-esteem was
deteriorating and their academic results were far below their abilities.
"We sent both of our sons to a private boarding school for dyslexic young men. It
was there that I learned out about the Orton-Gillingham remedial reading method.
I visited the owner of a large distributor of educational materials and determined
that the Orton-Gillingham methodology could be delivered by a software product.
"As the Orton-Gillingham method is very complex, we engaged the services of two
tutors, each formally trained and each with 25 years of experience. They helped us
put the content of the software together. Teachers with classroom experience
created the stories and worked with the tutors to ensure that we had met the strict
requirements of the Orton-Gillingham method.
"As the software was being developed, we tested it with students working with
tutors, in schools, in adult learning centers and in a local prison. Their feedback
provided us with valuable insight to make the program fully functional for all types
of learners.
"In total, there were twenty-one people directly involved in the development of the
Language Tune-Up Kit family of software programs. We feel that it is the best
program of its type available today."
