EXPERIENCE DYSLEXIA™
A learning disability simulation workshop.
Twice a year, IDALA hosts this thought-provoking, hands-on experience, simulating the struggles and frustrations of individuals with dyslexia.
Experience Dyslexia™, developed by the Northern California Branch of IDA, is a hands-on workshop that lets participants experience some of the challenges that people with Dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities face each day.
-
IDALA offers this workshop twice a year — during our Annual Meeting in the fall and at our Spring Conference, Language & Learning.
-
We are proud to offer the Experience Dyslexia simulation at schools and community groups as professional development activities. For a cost of $750, our board members will lead the 1.5 hour simulation and provide all necessary resources for attendees. Contact us to schedule a simulation.
“I found it extremely eye-opening to put myself in the shoes of a dyslexic learner. I thought I had an idea what students with dyslexia felt, but I really didn’t. I was frustrated when doing the tasks and can only imagine what a student with dyslexia must feel every day.”
