Addressing Dyslexia & Specific Learning Differences in the Classroom
Course
Accommodate & ensure Everyone can Learn!
There are estimated to be 10 – 20% of people who have Dyslexia world-wide. How many are in VET classes!? Dyslexia and other Specific Learning Disorders are invisible, range in severity and are not static. Many learners have not been diagnosed and the emotional implications are huge! In this interactive webinar we won’t seek to diagnose but be aware of the indicators of possible dyslexia and specific learning disorders and activate some simple strategies to accommodate and ensure everyone can learn!
