Dyslexia Defined

Dyslexia Defined

Event Details

This is a one day workshop that will give you a clear understanding of what dyslexia is, how it effects the individual and a few strategies to keep in mind if you are providing support for a dyslexia learner. With 15-20% of the population with this type of learning profile, we all need to be equipped with this knowledge. Whether you are an educator, parent, health professional, grandparent or someone who wants to support dyslexic learners, this is the place to start. 

About the Presenter:

For over 30 years, Leslie Keast-Patch worked as a teacher, a learning support teacher and music specialist in schools, before specialising in literacy and dyslexia.

Leslie saw the frustration and concerns that parents and teachers endure when their intelligent and eager students continue to struggle to acquire literacy skills after several years of schooling, and more importantly the damage to self esteem and tragic waste of potential of so many children. Through her research, experience and work with students of all ages and abilities, it was clear there was a need to create alternative learning programs and educational workshops to provide opportunities for literacy learning.
