Dyslexia Training Institute Information and classes about dyslexia and advocacy for those with dyslexia. www.dyslexiatraininginstitute.org Community Guidelines:
1. Be kind. Be appropriate.

We founded the Dyslexia Training Institute to provide training to professionals, parents, and anyone else interested about dyslexia. We have since added one-on-one reading therapy, testing and advocacy. We also provide a certification program for those interested in providing reading therapy to those with dyslexia. Terms of Use:

"In the world of literacy and literacy instruction, we often contend with how to incorporate knowledge from other fields like neuroscience, linguistics, and psychology into our everyday work with struggling students and those who teach them.

Sometimes the professionals from these other fields don’t speak education-ease and sometimes that creates a knowledge and implementation gap between what these experts are trying to teach us and what we ultimately come to understand.

Additionally, there are educators who talk about linguistics and there are linguists who talk about education – this often leads to confusion and misunderstanding. But we wouldn’t (generally) go to a car dealership to buy a bike, so why do we turn to the education community for information about linguistics?"

Questioning established practices isn't always easy, but standing up for your students makes it worth it!

ā€œWorkers of the world, unite!ā€ This probably isn’t a sentence you expect to see in a blog about IEPs and the special education process. But I’ve often found myself thinking about a metaphor from VĆ”clav Havel’s essay The Power of the Powerless.Ā  Living within the System Havel tells the st...
