Face It - Dyslexic Like Me
(22.8 MiB, 133 hits)
Kansas is one of few states where the term “dyslexia” doesn’t exist in school. Children are classified medically with dyslexia and not educationally. The Kansas Department of Education discourages the word “dyslexia” on IEPs or 504 plans. Therefore educational professionals know little about dyslexia (think it is seeing letters backwards) and parents continue to watch children suffer poor school performance.
The goal of this conference, “Face It. Dyslexia and Literacy.” is to educate parents and teachers about dyslexia, focus on the symptoms and the cause. Parents, learn what you must do to make sure their children grow up in a healthy academic environment.

Often times, we are asked questions regarding the issue of Vision Therapy and how it helps and serves students with dyslexia. Although we recognize that some students do need Vision Therapy, research shows that in the area of dyslexia, Vision Therapy is not the prescribed protocol.
