Dyslexia, Dysgraphia & Dyscalculia Demystified

This Dyslexia, Dysgraphia & Dyscalculia workshop will cover –

Specific Learning Disorders are neurodevelopmental disorders that are characterised by continual impairment in at least one of three main areas: reading, written expression and/or math.

There are mixed numbers around how many Australian people are dyslexic – somewhere between 10% and 20% of the population would be expected, but the real number may be much higher as many persons have not yet been diagnosed. This equates to somewhere between 2.5 & 5 million Australians having dyslexia.

Come along to this informative, interactive workshop to find out how you can further assist students with SLDs in your classroom.

Passionate &  Authentic Speakers – Meaningful Strategies

Just a big Thank you for giving us the opportunity to attend the Critical Agenda Workshop yesterday.  David presented a great program, lots of handy strategies and he was very engaging and supportive. Highly recommended.  I was very happy we did not have to do any Role play’s.

Keep up the fantastic PD opportunities! Very  professional and well-researched workshops and conferences.
