Learning to read - vision and the brain with Dr Nadia Northway

Learning to read - vision and brain

Learning to read is a complex process that relies on the brain bringing together visual and language skills. But what happens when these processes don’t work together as smoothly as they should?

In this  talk, Dr Nadia Northway will explore the important relationship between visual processing and language processing and how these work together to support comfortable, confident reading.

The talk will also explore how visual processing difficulties may contribute to the challenges experienced by some children with dyslexia, how to recognise the signs and what practical steps can be taken to help.

This talk will be of interest to parent/carers of children with dyslexia, teachers and vision specialists.

It will take place on Zoom and it will not be recorded. A Zoom link will be emailed on the morning of the event.
