Understanding Dyslexia: Finding the Right Combination

Understanding Dyslexia - Available free for a limited time 

As of last October, 46 states have enacted dyslexia-related legislation, much of it in the past few years. Although screening is becoming mandatory, it’s important to ensure teachers, parents, and administrators understand the definition and characteristics of dyslexia and how to work together to unlock student success. 

That’s why MindPlay is offering its Understanding Dyslexia course for free. 

This course is designed to help your entire team, including parents, special and general education teachers, school and clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists, and administrators, improve their knowledge and understanding of dyslexia, and the principles and types of effective interventions. 

Join us in raising awareness on how to unlock success for students with dyslexia.
