This webinar aims to provide participants with a range of practical skills and resources to support learners with dyslexia in the inclusive classroom. The course offers an understanding of dyslexia, the characteristics inherent in this specific learning difficulty and guidance on how to support children in classrooms. Roisin brings her experience as a student with dyslexia and will address what worked for her in primary school and traces the support all the way up to current day. This gives specific and personal insights into techniques and learning strategies that supported her on her educational journey. Participants will be equipped with approaches for effective inclusive provision in mainstream and special settings.
