Dyslexia: Different by Design—Understanding the Most Common Learning Disability
This 15-hour interactive, synchronous online course will examine the unique neurobiological profile and cognitive characteristics of dyslexia. From early identification to appropriate accommodations, this course will provide an overview of dyslexia by exploring key issues: neurobiological markers, cognitive-linguistic correlates, indicators by developmental range, elements of effective intervention, characteristics of a dyslexia friendly classroom, socio-emotional supports, and effective 504 Plans.
Engaging, participant-focused activities will bring the content to life, helping each educator internalize the information for transference to tangible, informed practice upon return to the classroom. Interactive activities interlaced throughout the two-day course include mini-presentations of cognitive-linguistic characteristics, student case studies, identifying a suite of strategies for a particular learning environment, organizing indicators by developmental range, and experiencing dyslexia through reading and writing simulations.
