20TRA565 An Introduction to Dyslexia

This webinar provides an overview on dyslexia, discussing, among other things, what dyslexia is, the indicators of dyslexia, technical terms around dyslexia and the social and emotional effects of dyslexia. It also looks at what teachers can do to help, strengths of the dyslexic learner and provides an insight into available interventions.

Attendees can expect a mix between theory, practical tips and reflections with a view to helping inform a more dyslexia friendly approach to teaching and learning.
