Becoming Dyslexperts: What Everyone Needs to Know About Dyslexia!
The free, public event is designed for parents, pediatricians and speech-language pathologists and will cover how to identify dyslexia early on, what warning signs to look for and how early intervention affects a child's long-term academic success.
1 in 5 students in Louisiana have dyslexia, but most have never been screened or diagnosed. Dyslexia is frequently missed because parents and caregivers do not know the warning signs. Key indicators include:
• Difficulty rhyming or recognizing sounds in words
• Difficultly learning the alphabet and difficultly learning to read
• Slow or labored reading
• Trouble sounding out unfamiliar words
• Persistent spelling struggles despite instruction
