712 - SEND – Understanding Dyslexia, What is it?

Description: 
A course for any adult with dyslexia or any adult wanting an introduction to dyslexia: What it is, theories, how it’s diagnosed, characteristics that may be present and issues that someone may struggle with. You will learn about managing your dyslexia and/or how to support someone else with dyslexia, the different resources you might use – at home, in school and in the workplace - and how to ease the challenges someone with dyslexia may face in their daily life.

The course will help learners to know how to develop strategies to support themselves and others with dyslexia. This supportive course will give learners the time to talk to others in similar situations. You will be able to describe what dyslexia is, be able to identify the common signs of dyslexia, understand the different types of dyslexia and build your confidence in supporting a dyslexic individual or with managing your own dyslexia.
