Alice H. Garside’s Legacy
I am proud of the young people I have trained and worked with over the years. I am grateful for what they have and will accomplish. — Alice H. Garside
After receiving her master’s degree from Boston University and Orton-Gillingham training at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1967, Dr. Cole appointed Alice Garside as Director of the MGH Language Clinic. From then until her retirement in 1976, Alice trained individuals in the Orton-Gillingham approach. As tutors, teacher trainers and heads of schools, they have touched the lives of countless children and adults with dyslexia. Her inspiration, keen sense of humor, and the twinkle in her eye have had a memorable impact on all who have known her. Alice was among the first to become involved with the New England Branch of the Orton Society and was the 1987 recipient of IDA’s highest honor, The Samuel T. Orton Award. Alice passed away on August 26, 2007 at the age of 98 and is greatly missed.
