When research doesn’t support popular opinion: How best to serve children diagnosed with dyslexia
Friday September 6, 2024 12:30pm - 1:30pm MDT
Cupid (Summit Gallery Peaks Peaks 6, 7, 8): Second Floor
Two things are clear: 1. Children diagnosed with dyslexia deserve to be supported with their reading needs; and 2. Their parents deserve our respect for their activism in getting help for their children. Beyond that, the waters—and the research gets muddy and maddening in trying to figure out what is truly effective. Join this session’s experts in learning about the current state of research as well as the current state of the dyslexia advocacy movement in Colorado. Become aware of some sensitive terms and where to find current online and audiobook resources. Discover how little we actually know and yet what is generally accepted and how you can shape your collection and your readers advisory to reflect the best of what we know.
