Beyond the P’s & Q’s: The intersection between Dyslexia and Executive Function
Presented by: Wendy Stacey, M.S., Director of Reading and Speech/Language
Although dyslexia is the most recognized reading disorder and the most researched, many people assume students with dyslexia read backwards and confuse their b/d’s and p/q’s. While this may be true for some dyslexics, the level of severity can vary as well as the obstacles they face including remote learning. How do executive function difficulties also inhibit reading progress? In this webinar, participants will become familiar with current brain research, understand new laws, and learn the hallmark characteristics of dyslexia. Join Wendy as she helps to unravel the complexities and challenges facing students with dyslexia and executive function challenges. Learn five specific online activities to engage learners and boost EF processes while improving their reading skills.
