Dyslexia for a Day
The Dyslexia for a Day Simulation, designed by the Dyslexia Training Institute is a hands-on session which allows you to experience what it feels like to struggle with reading and writing when you are intellectually capable. The simulation will include four different reading and writing/spelling simulations. We will also include some tips and strategies for accommodating dyslexia in the classroom.
