Overview
Dyslexia affects at least one in ten students, yet many educators leave university without the tools to identify or support students with this common learning difference. In this informative session, we unpack the myths and truths about dyslexia, explore its impact on learning, and outline what the latest research tells us about effective, inclusive teaching. Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of the signs of dyslexia and practical strategies that every teacher can implement to better support all learners—especially those who need it most.
