Understanding Dyslexia

Participants will learn about the role of the brain in reading and dyslexia. Early warning signs, as well as critical indicators and core deficits, will be presented. We will review special education law with an emphasis on specific learning disabilities and dyslexia. A discussion of clinical diagnosis versus educational classification, and IEPs versus 504 Plans, will guide participants to consider these nuances in the contexts of schools. Presented by Dr. Sheila Clonan.
