Awareness Training for Educators
​
It is so important it is for educators to keep up with current information and find new resources. My awareness course gives a comprehensive understanding of dyslexia. It discusses the characteristics of dyslexia, how this affects learning and gives guidance on how to support children who have or who show signs of dyslexia.
​
It dispels misconceptions, explores the challenges people with dyslexia face and provides techniques and learning activities you can use to support them.
​
​
Training can be adapted to include of focus on other Specific Learning Difficulties in brief or in depth. It will be tailored to suit the audience primary, secondary, university or adult training needs.
