Finally! Testing and Support for Students with Dyslexia and Dyscalculia with Specialist Dr. Livia Pailer-Duller The Brighter Side of Education
-
- How To
In this episode, I focus on the student as a variable. What happens when a child struggles in reading, writing, and math and how can we as teachers and parents meet their needs? With 1 out of 5 people estimated to have dyslexia, it is surprising that there is not more action in education to address this large area of concern. In the average classroom size of 20 that means teachers have an average of 4 dyslexic students in every classroom.
Dr. Livia Pailer-Duller is on today’s show to discuss this important topic of dyslexia and dyscalculia, and how her organization is helping children and families across the world. She is the CEO of the American Dyslexia Association and co-author of Dyslexia-Dyscalculia!? (Available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dyslexia-Dyscalculia-Dr-Astrid-Kopp-Duller-ebook/dp/B0047DWZ1S) Published in 2010, this book is described as “a necessity of intervention at the educational-didactic level, which is of preeminent importance for success in the training of people who have problems with reading, writing, or calculating.”
So here is the call to action: Teachers need to be trained and school districts need to be better equipped to handle dyslexic students. Parents need access to more information and better support.
It is my hope to include dyslexia testing in the form of AFS testing and didactic assistance by professionally trained educators as part of a solution to the current reading crisis gripping America.
