Dyslexia and dysgraphia were in focus even before eLearning. But, now more than ever, districts are looking for stable and effective ways to help students access and complete assignments independently—wherever they learn.
Students with dyslexia or dysgraphia, often have difficulties with:
- Decoding and comprehension
- Handwriting
- Spelling & Grammar
- Organization
- Written expression and writing speed (thinking faster than they can write)
- Independence (they rely on adults for reading and writing tasks)
- Writing math symbols; aligning numbers and word problems
- Phonics and Phonemic Awareness
- Finishing research, reading, and writing assignments on time
You’re going to need the BEST combination of technology and measurement tools to help your students rise above these issues, recover from the COVID slide, and build confidence to work independently.
In this webinar, Diana Petschauer, M.Ed., ATP, Laurie McIntosh, M.S., (from AT for Education – ATforED.com), and Kati McIlroy, OT/L, ATS, will show you a powerful toolkit to support students with dyslexia and dysgraphia including:
- Tools/ Tech/ demos and strategies; realistic implementation for the iPad and Chromebook/laptop to support literacy, math and multi-sensory instruction
- Co:Writer® (Word Prediction and Voice Typing for written expression)
- Snap&Read™ (Text-to-Speech, PDF Annotation, Text Leveling, Study Tools/Highlighter to fully access reading materials)
- Annotation tools that make PDFs quizzes and worksheets accessible
- The uPAR process to help staff choose appropriate reading accommodations with data
- The DeCoste Writing Protocol—a process to evaluate writing issues
Come see what makes a real difference for students living and learning with dyslexia and dysgraphia.
