Dyslexia Awareness Part 2: Module 5 - Technology

Dyslexia Awareness Part 2: Module 5 - Technology
Celebrities including Sir Richard Branson, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom and Maggie Aderin-Pocock join expert teachers from two world leading dyslexia schools to share their wisdom and expertise in these inspirational Dyslexia Awareness Training films produced by Made By Dyslexia. Millfield School UK and Schenck School USA are both pioneers in the field of dyslexia and the first schools in their respective countries to successfully support dyslexic students and focus on dyslexic strengths. These films have been incorporated into 5 Dyslexia Awareness Training modules designed to help teachers, educators and parents understand dyslexia, both its strengths and challenges, gain essential knowledge in how to recognise and support it, and create a dyslexia inclusive classroom.

Technology is a great help. Spellcheck, Microsoft Word.Powerpoint for visuals. Literature presented vocally and exams presented visually or vocally. not necessarily in written form.

I would love to see you cover Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia and Dysgraphia. I only recently discovered I have two of these and sadly had never heard of them. You have a great platform to spread awareness.

I grew up in the 90's and am dyslexic. I love audiobooks in my adulthood and have discovered a free font called "dyslexie". I put it on my computer and can read effortlessly in that font.

@madebydyslexia I’m curious to know if students who are dyslexic also have any visual struggles like convergence insufficiency, binocular vision disorder, etc?

These sound great but, you have to give the students time during the school day to learn these programs. Some students who have dyslexia are working long hour on homework and don't have time to experiment on the computer.

my spelling is horrible and I have to ask my phone how do I spell this word and it is a lifesaver but what doesn't help is that when the spelling is looked at and grammar and also putting in full stops and speech marks.
