One of the most important objectives is to assist teachers in obtaining training in alternative teaching methods for students with dyslexia. Dyslexic children do not learn the sight words expected in primary grades. In general, they do not pick up the alphabetic code or system without explicit teaching. Research has shown that multisensory teaching enables the learner to master alphabetic patterns and words by utilizing the visual, auditory and kinesthetic-tactile pathways. Teachers are encouraged to attend our training workshops and scholarship money is available.
Scholarships are available also for parents to attend the Annual Fall Conference.
