What Every Parent Needs to Know About Children's Reading Disabilities
"Put Yourself in the Shoes of a Person with Dyslexia" Simulation Workshop
What is it like to have dyslexia? How does it affect your daily life? Put Yourself in the Shoes of a Person with Dyslexia, the NCBIDA's learning disabilities simulation, lets participants experience some of the challenges and frustrations faced by people with this language-based learning disability. The simulation provides a lively, thought-provoking activity for teachers, parents, or anyone interested in better understanding the lives of individuals with dyslexia.
The simulation consists of six learning stations that present different language-related learning tasks encountered in the classroom or workplace. A station leader guides participants through an activity at each 10-minute station, and leads a brief discussion. When all stations have been completed, participants come together for a general debriefing led by the facilitator. The entire simulation lasts one-and-a half to two hours, depending on discussion time. The stations consist of a beginning reading problem, an auditory figure-ground discrimination problem, a visual-motor and writing task problem, a fine motor problem on a written task, a visual perception and processing problem, and a hearing problem.
Put Yourself in the Shoes of a Person with Dyslexia is available as a simulation workshop led by IDALI volunteers. This program can be offered in your school or organization. Please call us at (631) 261-7441 for more information.
