Understanding Dyslexia for parents and carers

Dyslexia affects how a person processes language, making reading, writing, and spelling more challenging. This free interactive workshop, run by SENDIASS and hosted by Learning Services Worcestershire, provides parents and carers with a clearer understanding of dyslexia and practical strategies to support their child’s learning.

• an introduction to dyslexia, how it affects learning, and common challenges children may face
• practical strategies to help children develop their reading, writing, and spelling skills at home
• information on how to work with schools to access support and reasonable adjustments
• the opportunity to ask questions and hear from other parents who have had similar experiences

Session Details 

This is a series of four two-hour interactive workshops with discussion, practical examples, and the opportunity to explore useful resources.
