Studies show that as many as 1 in 5 students have dyslexia, a commonly misunderstood language disorder. When undiagnosed, students with dyslexia may exhibit symptoms that are often confused for defiant or lazy behavior or a lack of motivation.

In this Sip and Learn session at Cork Wine Bar, Uplift Education Literacy Therapy Specialist Alicia McClung will provide an in-depth dyslexia training to equip teachers to identify and support students with this disorder. Alicia will cover the warning signs, what to expect academically from a student with dyslexia and how to best serve them within your classroom. These best practices apply to all grade levels and include universal support that can benefit any student.

 In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• What dyslexia is

• Signs and symptoms

• Common mistakes to avoid when dealing with dyslexia

• Proven strategies to support students with dyslexia
