Experience Dyslexia, A Simulation®
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
9:00am - 11:30am
Fee: $15/participant
AIM Academy, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (PBIDA), is offering a dyslexia simulation for parents. This lively and thought-provoking activity begins with a brief discussion of dyslexia, including the neurological basis, the demographics, the warning signs, and the interventions which have been shown, through solid research, to have positive impact.
Participants then take part in six simulated activities which mimic the experiences and processing of those with dyslexia.
- Learn to Read simulates a beginning reading problem
- Listen to Me simulates an auditory figure-ground problem
- Write with Mirrors simulates a visual-motor and writing problem
- Name That Letter simulates a letter-word identification problem
- Write or Left simulates a copying and writing problem
- Hear and Spell simulates an auditory discrimination problem
Finally, participants are able to ask questions of an experienced panel.
For further information or questions, call: 215-483-2461
"The strong impact of this workshop demonstrates the power of learning by doing and the effectiveness of your carefully-crafted simulation components."
"This was an enlightening and extremely educational experience."
"I had an intellectual under-standing of what dyslexia is, but going through the simulation enabled me to feel and experience the emotional and psychological impact that my daughter lives with every day."
"I have so much more respect for my child, knowing how hard it is for him at school every day."
