Dyslexia Presentations
Dyslexia 101
Dyslexia affects approximately twenty percent (1 in 5) of the population. Learn the basics about what dyslexia is, the important and necessary assessments, and the type of appropriate instruction and programs that work for students with dyslexia and other related learning differences.
Dyslexia 101 & Simulation
Our Dyslexia 101 + Simulation includes the foundational Dyslexia 101 overview (described above) plus an interactive simulation experience. Through hands-on activities, participants gain a deeper understanding of the challenges individuals with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences encounter every day. The simulation is designed to build awareness and provide insight into the impact these learning differences can have in school, the workplace, and everyday life.
Dyslexia Accommodations: Navigating the Transition from High School to College
Designed for high school students, parents, educators, and anyone interested in the accommodations process, this session provides an overview of requesting and receiving accommodations on the ACT and in college courses. Whether you're planning ahead or beginning the application process, this presentation will help you better understand what to expect and how to advocate for the support needed for success.
Understanding Dysgraphia
Dysgraphia is a learning difference that makes writing — from physical handwriting to putting thoughts on paper — harder than expected for a person’s age. Roughly 30–50% of children with dyslexia may also experience dysgraphia or significant writing difficulties. This presentation dives deeper into the specifics of dysgraphia and how best to support students.
Executive Functioning
For students with dyslexia, school can require much more than reading and spelling. Planning, time management, and organization can all add another layer of challenge. That’s where executive functioning comes in. Executive Functioning is the management system of the brain. Learn more about how your brain works to get things done and practical ways to strengthen these skills.
