Program Description

Event Details

Even though dyslexia is the most common learning disability, accurate information about what dyslexia is and is not often does not reach the general public. For example, did you know that people with dyslexia do not see backwards?  Attendees will explore this and other myths - and learn the facts about dyslexia. They will also have the opportunity to participate in a short dyslexia simulation activity designed to increase empathy and understanding. Katie Greving, MA, LMHC, Executive Director, Decoding Dyslexia Iowa, is the presenter.
