Sharing this as it is food for thought especially at a time that many are choosing their courses in post secondary education. Parents be proud whatever your children think is best for them and let them be proud of how you encourage them even though it might not fit your goals.

It is with a heavy heart that we salute a good friend and colleague who for many years worked wholeheartedly at SpLD Service. Ms Mary Anne Vaaben has touched the lives of many and will not be forgotten.

It's exam period. Time to understand why sometimes arrangements are needed. These are not helping, but they are supporting, students who need these measures to achieve their potential. They do not replace preparation though! Good luck everyone.

The SpLD Service is pleased to share that earlier this month Ms Pamela delivered a professional training session at Kalkara Primary School focusing on the work of the SpLD Service, key information about dyslexia, and the Dyslexia Friendly Schools Initiative (DFSI). 💡

Educators participated in an interactive online quiz 📱and a dyslexia simulation activity designed to deepen their understanding, increase awareness, and enhance classroom practices to better support learners with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties.

The SpLD Service thanks the school leadership team and staff of Kalkara Primary School for their active engagement and commitment towards creating a more inclusive and dyslexia-friendly learning environment. 🎒

On Monday 4th May, a training session was held with LSEs at St. Theresa Middle School. The participants shared good practices they are implementing with the learners they are working with. Futhermore, LSEs amended handouts they were using to make them more dyslexia friendly. This included choosing appropriate font and font size, adding pictures and chunking text by adding text boxes.

It was a fruitful session where LSEs were given the opportunity to share their concerns and to strategies which have been successful.
