Description
A lot of children encounter difficulty in reading and writing. In most cases, they are not yet mentally prepared to perform these tasks. With extra help, however, they eventually overcome these difficulties and start performing well in the said areas. The same thing cannot be said for children with dyslexia, though. They experience an enduring struggle to read and write, and they require long-term assistance to minimise or address the effects of their condition.
While dyslexia is recognised as a learning disability, it should be noted that it is not a form of retardation, disease, or the result of low intelligence. Dyslexic people usually learn differently because their brains exhibit differences in structure and function. In fact, although they have a hard time processing language, many of them possess unusual talents. If you are curious to know more about dyslexia, are affected by it in anyway, or are interested to help people with such condition to make their life better, this course is for you.
The Online Dyslexia Therapist course will provide you relevant information about dyslexia, helping you understand what it is, what are its symptoms and causes, and how it is diagnosed. It will also raise your awareness about the policies and initiatives for helping dyslexic people as well as the tools and strategies used to address this learning disability. Approaches and techniques for assisting dyslexics to improve their reading, writing, and spelling skills will also be provided in the course.
