The Washington State Branch of the International Dyslexia Association invites you to . . . Walk in the Shoes of a Dyslexic Learner
Walk in the Shoes of a Dyslexic Learner
Kohlwes Education Center
300 SW 7th Street, Renton
January 24, 2007 - 7PM
This interactive workshop will lead participants through a sequence of 5 activities to simulate for non-dyslexic people multi-sensory experiences common to dyslexic learners.
Participants rotate among five learning stations which simulate various classroom learning activities and workplace tasks.
Station 1 simulates a beginning reading problem.
Station 2 simulates a visual-motor and writing task problem.
Station 3 simulates a fine motor problem on a written task.
Station 4 simulates a visual perception and processing problem.
Station 5 simulates a hearing problem
Facilitated discussion after completing each station activity enhances the learning for participants.
By feeling as if you are “in the shoes” of a dyslexic learner, educators can move beyond theoretical to a more complete understanding from the student’s perspective. All participants take away from the workshop a fuller appreciation of the frustrations that dyslexic children feel in school on a daily basis.
Space is limited to 50 participants. Register today by calling 206-382-1020 or emailing info@wabida.org.
This simulation will be offered on February 28th at the Shoreline Center.
