This presentation discusses:

  • Types of dyslexia among children.
  • How to foster reading and math abilities among dyslexic kids in the 21st century.

There are different ways to address and build these skills. For reading, students can use tactics like special websites that specialize in text-to-speech capabilities. For math, students can use an abacus and count out numbers to develop math abilities.

"The important thing is when you go to learn how to read you've got to have tools to bring it to the task."

Key Takeaways:

1
Thorough testing is important to diagnose specific types of dyslexia because every child is unique.
2
To treat reading in developmental populations the following should be determined first: is it phonological, surface, or neglect dyslexia? Then consider the age of the child, their strengths, and what has worked and not worked for them so far.
3
Working memory can contribute to math problems such as using abacus.
