Spotlight on Dyslexia 2025 Virtual Conference
Defining Dyslexia: Exciting Research and Its Impact on Students
Intervention is driven by research-based practices, and incorporating phonological processing into the definition of dyslexia empowers teachers to make a broader shift in early identification and awareness of dyslexia in pre-K and kindergarten. It also provides an opportunity to advocate for resources that enhance phonological processing in general education classrooms. Use this transition as an opportunity to initiate critical conversations that will maximize your expertise and raise awareness, skills, and strategies for supporting students with dyslexia.

Region 12 Special Education Conference
How to Maximize Stamina and Engagement for Students with Dyslexia
Dyslexia is more than a reading disability! Students with dyslexia spend countless hours working to improve phonological deficits which is a necessary part of their progress. However, another key element to include in the intervention time is teaching them how to access their visual thinking ability to interact with reading, problem solving, math, and comprehension. When students have an accurate perception of how their brain works, they develop skills to regulate and organize learning. this session includes mini lessons that focus on the value of visual thinkers and how to access those skills to learn difficult concepts.
