About this session
So, you know what dyslexia is? If you’ve attended our Dyslexia Awareness session, you’ll understand the key facts and the markers that indicate Dyslexia. You may even be supporting a child with a diagnosis of Dyslexia. What’s next that would be helpful to know?
How do you transfer what you know and have learnt about Dyslexia to an individual you’re supporting now or might support in the future? As parents or practitioners that is what we need to know.
Because every child is unique with a learning profile specific to them, we need to treat them as such and support them accordingly. This session is designed to help you do that.
The session is structured around real-life inspired case studies and illustrates how these individuals present as learners with Dyslexia. It focuses on the strategies that can be used to best meet their individual needs.
This session is all about viewing Dyslexia through the lens of individual experience – it’s all about the individual and more interesting for it – we make no apologies, and we think you’ll find it fascinating. It helps you match effective strategies to individual need including:
- supporting individuals effectively by building on their strengths
- identifying ways of maintaining their self-esteem and promoting their own sense of worth
We all know the happier the child the more successful they will be.
