Dyslexia- Identification and Understanding Difficulties associated with the Diagnosis

Dyslexia- Identification and Understanding Difficulties associated with the Diagnosis

Date: Thursday the 14th of November 2024

Time: 7pm - 8pm

Location: Online via Zoom

Part 1 of a 2 part course

A practical workshop examining the identifying features of dyslexia and how teachers might recognise it in the classroom. We will look at the specific difficulties associated with the diagnosis and will use basic assessments and checklists suitable for classroom and school use to help teachers plan to assess the students they teach. At the end of this workshop the participants will understand better what dyslexia feels like from the perspective of the person with dyslexia and in what areas of education and daily living the difficulties appear.
