After being rescued near our campus in December 2023, she quickly became a cherished member of the Academy family and was named for Samuel Orton, co-developer of the Orton-Gillingham Approach.
Now a fully certified therapy dog, Sammie helps students feel calm, supported, and confident, whether they are tackling a tough day or reading aloud in class. She even shares her own perspective on Instagram at @SammieTheDyslexicDoodle, where she raises awareness about dyslexia.
