20TRA409 Dyslexia- Identification and Understanding Difficulties associated with the Diagnosis

A practical workshop examining the signs and symptoms of dyslexia and how teachers might recognise it in the classroom. We will look at the specific difficulties associated with the diagnosis and will use basic assessments and checklists suitable for classroom and school use to help teachers plan to help the children.
