Certificate in Identifying and Supporting Children with Dyslexia

Many students have different profiles and different needs and one of the needs can be dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning difficult that primarily affects difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed. Dyslexia can be a complicated issue for young people to deal with and supporting dyslexic children in the classroom can be very demanding. 

Developed by Dr Helen Ross, chair of the Wiltshire Dyslexia Association, this online dyslexia training course for schools will provide you with the knowledge and skills to understand how to identify students with dyslexia needs and how to support students in the classroom. 

Please note: The training course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives from the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process and complete all relevant activities to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
