Lesson 13 of 48: Every Tuesday, we open up one lesson of the Dyslexia Trainer Certification Program, so you can see exactly what certified dyslexia trainers learn.
This week: Symptom Training in Language Arts. Letters, Words, and Real-World Use.
Symptom training is the moment when preparation becomes performance: after attention and perception have been strengthened, we practice the actual skills of school. Letters, words, spelling, handwriting, reading, and short writing are worked through tight, repeatable cycles: model, guided practice, independent try, quick check. Often one word or one pattern per session, using all channels, so gains are accurate first and then fluent enough to transfer into daily classwork.
About the program: Since 1997, more than 17,000 dyslexia trainers in 64 countries have been certified. The certification includes all the tools you need to work with dyslexic children: worksheets, training programs, and ready-to-use materials, from AFS-Test assessment to individualized training. Accredited by the American Dyslexia Association (ADA), following the training standards of the International Federation of Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Associations (IFDDA).
