Course Description
When it comes to dyslexia, we are in the beginning phase of turning the tide for students and teachers in Iowa. In this engaging course Elizabeth Hoksbergen invites you to join her for an interactive adventure to learn all about dyslexia. Together, we will travel through understanding the brain differences of dyslexia, diagnosis and subtypes of dyslexia, key principles of effective intervention (through structured literacy), critical psychological supports, strategic accommodations, leveraging assistive technology, and the power of cultivating strengths. These seven modules will involve hands-on learning and ready-to-apply, effective strategies to help those with dyslexia succeed in school and in life. Participants will complete the course with a comprehensive understanding of dyslexia and an armory of potent strategies ready for implementation at home or at school.
