Free Q&A Service, Encouraging Parents and Teachers to ask Dyslexia Related Questions

Posted on by

News from the web:

Seeing the gap between what is known about dyslexia and remediation in Science, and what is understood about the subject by parents and teachers, Dynaread Special Education Corporation has launched a free online Q&A service. Dynaread hopes to help bridge the gap of science versus public dyslexia understanding by offering people the ability to get answers to their dyslexia related questions.

 

Dynaread has a team of reading specialists who can assist parents and teachers by providing them with answers to their reading remediation related questions. A simple to use online web form at https://dynaread.com/service/askQuestionForm is all it takes to get into contact with Dynaread?s team of reading specialists and ask a question about dyslexia.

 

With 5-10% of children struggling with reading, dyslexia is an issue facing many parents and teachers. Though a neurological issue, completely unrelated to intelligence, many people misunderstand what dyslexia is, and not being able to properly read has caused pain and embarrassment for parents and children alike.

 

Dekkers, CEO of Dynaread, states: ?At the annual IDA conference in Chicago a few months ago, I had the opportunity to personally meet one of America?s leading pioneers in dyslexia research and advocacy, Dr. Sylvia O. Richardson, MD, former President of the International Dyslexia Association . As someone who is passionate about helping struggling readers myself, I asked her what she could challenge me with. She stated: ?In spite of all the efforts of the International Dyslexia Association, all the advancements in reading sciences, and all our current understanding in reading disorders, this information has not yet reached the general public, nor our educational institutions.?
