Dyslexia for a day!

What is it like for a dyslexic child?  What does it look like?  What does it feel like?

Parents and teachers may be noticing that a child is having difficulty reading and writing, but not know exactly why.  The child's behaviors may be changing.  He or she may appear to not be paying attention very much and is very unfocused on the tasks in front of him/her.  Children may say things like, "This isn't very interesting. I don't like it."  How can we tell if the child doesn't want to give more effort or if there is an underlying reading and writing issue?

Dyslexia is found in one out of every five children...and the data is showing an increase in that statistic.  For a teacher, you will have dyslexic children in your classroom.  Recognizing the indicators and creating a nurturing environment makes all of the difference.

Dyslexia Training Institute has developed "Dyslexia For A Day" as a simulation, to experience what a child experiences.  It is an eye-opening experience that is worth the time to watch.
