Dyslexia in Further, Higher and Adult Education - Free Webinar

To mark Dyslexia Awareness Month, join Dyslexia Ireland for a free webinar on Dyslexia in Further, Higher and Adult Education. 

This one-hour awareness session will provide an overview of what dyslexia is and how it impacts students' learning.

Dyslexia is a learning difference that can cause difficulties with learning and work. It affects approximately 1 in 10 people. It occurs on a spectrum, with some people mildly affected and others more severely. With the right understanding, accommodations and support, people with dyslexia can achieve success in education, the workplace and in wider society.

Everyone with dyslexia is different, but there is a commonality of difficulties with reading, spelling and writing and related cognitive/processing difficulties. Dyslexia is not a general difficulty with learning; it impacts specific skill areas. The impact of dyslexia can change according to the environment (i.e. what a dyslexic person is being asked to do and under what circumstances).

Who is this Webinar for?

This free webinar is for anyone working in further, higher or adult education who would like to develop their understanding of dyslexia and gain practical tips for supporting dyslexic students.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the session, attendees will have an up-to-date and accurate understanding of dyslexia, including its origins, how it can impact students’ learning and educational experiences.
