Download Dyslexia Seminar Poster Download Dyslexia Seminar Press Release Download Dyslexia Seminar Article What: As a dyslexic practitioner, Elsie Johnson gets to work and speak regularly with dyslexic adults, children, and their parents. Consequently she knows that dyslexic thinkers are imaginative, intuitive, and curious people whose main learning tool is their imagination, intuition and curiosity. Parents and teens who attended have seen results in their teens' self esteem and confidence. Teachers appreciate the information and resources they can use on their own. Leave with the understanding that dyslexic thinkers are among the brightest in our society; what's more, with the right approach, the dyslexic thinking style contains all the ingredients for academic success.

Answers About Dyslexia and Other Learning Differences - Kalispell- May 11 & May 12, 2012 - 0 views

Click here to download the flyer for this event (.pdf) What:
Imagine that someone who is only familiar with PCs suddenly comes across an Apple Mac computer for the first time. The interface would look different, programs that person had on disk would not load - because they were designed for a PC. So the computer goes back to the shop with the complaint that it is broken. That, essentially, is what we do with our dyslexic learners. Parents and teens who have attended this seminar have seen results in their teens' self esteem and confidence. Teachers appreciate the information and resources they can use on their own. Leave with the understanding that dyslexic thinkers are among the brightest in our society; what's more, with the right approach, the dyslexic thinking style contains all the ingredients for academic success.
