Dyslexia Parent Support Group

Join us for an enlightening event to empower parents, educators, and caregivers with essential knowledge and strategies for supporting dyslexic students within the educational system. Dyslexia affects reading and language processing skills and can be very challenging. However, with specialized interventions and accommodations students can gain academic success. At this event, participants will gain insights into Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and discover effective ways to advocate for and implement accommodations that meet the unique needs of dyslexic learners.

We'll explore how to create and use IEPs that are personalized for each child's unique needs. Learn how to collaborate effectively with school teams to set appropriate goals, accommodations, and modifications that optimize learning outcomes for dyslexic students. Participants will also explore evidence-based strategies and assistive technologies to support dyslexic learners in accessing the curriculum and achieving their full potential.

In addition to informative sessions, this event will foster networking opportunities and community building among attendees who share a common goal of enhancing support for dyslexic students. Connect with fellow parents, educators, and advocates to exchange experiences, resources, and best practices for creating inclusive learning environments that empower dyslexic learners to thrive.

Whether you are a parent seeking guidance on navigating the educational system, an educator looking to enhance support for dyslexic students in your classroom, or a caregiver interested in learning more about effective accommodations, this event promises valuable insights and actionable strategies to make a positive impact in the lives of dyslexic learners.
