Dyslexia Demystified: Tools and Strategies Every Educator Can Use

This webinar is free and open to the public. 

Dyslexia is the most common neuro-cognitive disorder, and 80% of students with learning disabilities have dyslexia.* 

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability that impacts students’ ability to read, write, spell, pronounce words, and even learn numbers. Despite its prevalence, many educators have not received formal training on how to best support students with dyslexia in their classrooms. In this webinar, we will debunk common myths about dyslexia and help you recognize its key indicators in students. You’ll leave with practical, actionable strategies to create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students. 

In this webinar you will: 

• Separate facts from myths about dyslexia
• Understand how dyslexia is diagnosed in schools
• Identify characteristics of dyslexia in students across grade levels
• Learn strategies to foster a supportive learning environment for students with dyslexia
