Walk in the Shoes of a Dyslexic

October is designated nationally as Dyslexia Awareness Month. So, during this month we especially would hope to help people become aware of the issues of dyslexia. We started out with a bang with our Regional conference in Sioux City, Iowa. For a vast number of the people in attendance at the conference, it was the first time hearing about the specific issues of dyslexia.

Now, we would like to offer you the opportunity to feel what dyslexia is like. We have a wonderful six-station simulation called "Walk in the Shoes of a Dyslexic." The simulation creates artificial blocks that help you to understand the frustration students with dyslexia feel. Pathways to learning are "damaged" so that you can no longer trust your visual, auditory, or kinesthetic pathways.

We have used this simulation with classrooms to help students understand the frustration their fellow classmates experience. We have also used it very effectively with teachers for inservices. Another great use has been with community awareness meetings.
If you would be interested in having this simulation as part of your program for a meeting, please contact us to set a date.
