The object is to help parents and educators recognize if a child has dyslexia, and to give them quick tricks for teaching the children, Bilgrave said. She also hopes it will open dialogue in the community about dyslexia, she said. Edward Kame enui, professor of education at the University of Oregon, will be the keynote speaker. He has done extensive research on dyslexia and is a leader in the learning-disability studies field, Bilgrave said. All told, there will be seven speakers and seven workshops offered.
