Description

Dyslexia is an unseen impairment that affects one in every five people!

It’s not just a matter of working harder or paying more attention.

You’ve heard the stories from your clients: hours of studying only to forget it all on a test the next day, a constant inability to understand what they read, difficulty remembering lists or instructions longer than three, the overwhelming frustration of knowing what they want to say or do but not being able to express it on paper or get the words out, and becoming socially withdrawn in an attempt to hide their struggles.

In this course, you will have the chance to put into practice treatment ideas such as client-centered everyday routines, games, technology, sensory, and hands-on techniques to assist your client in overcoming the problems of life with dyslexia.

After completing this program, you will be able to deliver instant therapy to your client’s:

Visual perception abilities
Integration of vision and movement
Visual and auditory memory
Rate of reading, accuracy, fluency, and understanding
Phonetic memory and awareness
Spelling and penmanship difficulties

Convert regular activities into effective treatment!
