This is a video recording from the INTERNATIONAL DYSLEXIA ASSOCIATION AT & UDL LAB SESSIONS, IDA annual conference, workshop session.
Assistive Technology (AT) combined with literacy instruction bridges gaps for learners with Dyslexia by supporting access to grade level content, supporting confidence and independence, improving reading and writing skills, supporting executive function skills (memory, recall, scheduling/ reminders, organization), as well as preparing them to succeed in Higher Ed and the workplace. AT reduces frustration and prevents learners from falling behind, or worse, wanting to drop out/ quit school because of literacy challenges. If individuals do not have access to AT along with literacy instruction, their literacy development will suffer, negatively impacting important skills such as comprehension, written expression, and conversation dialogue, as well as presentation skills. Assistive Technology supports critical executive function skills that many students with Dyslexia struggle with, including time management, organization, attention and focus, task initiation and emotional regulation, all critical for successful transition to post-secondary options and the global workplace….

In this webinar, Diana Petschauer, M.Ed., ATP & Laurie McIntosh, MS, OTR/ L, ATP (from AT for Education – ATforED.com), and Kati McIlroy, OT (Don Johnston), will show you a powerful toolkit to support students with dyslexia & dysgraphia.
Dyslexia and Dysgraphia were in focus even before Remote & Hybrid Learning. But, now more than ever, educators, parents & districts are looking for effective ways to help students access and complete assignments independently—wherever they learn.
Students with dyslexia or dysgraphia, often have difficulties with:
Decoding and comprehension
Handwriting
Spelling & Grammar
Organization
Written expression and writing speed (thinking faster than they can write)
Independence (they rely on adults for reading and writing tasks)
Writing math symbols; aligning numbers and word problems
Phonics and Phonemic Awareness
Finishing research, reading, and writing assignments on time
You’re going to need the BEST combination of technology and measurement tools to help your students rise above these challenges, recover from the COVID slide, and build confidence to work independently.
In this webinar, Diana, Laurie and Kati will show you a powerful toolkit to support students with dyslexia and dysgraphia including:
Tools/ Tech/ demos and strategies; realistic implementation for the iPad and Chromebook/laptop to support literacy, math and multi-sensory instruction (Including tools to support OG instruction and activities)
Co:Writer® (Word Prediction and Voice Typing for written expression)
Snap&Read™ (Text-to-Speech, PDF Annotation, Text Leveling, Study Tools/Highlighter to fully access reading materials)
Annotation tools that make PDFs quizzes and worksheets accessible
The uPAR process to help staff choose appropriate reading accommodations with data
The DeCoste Writing Protocol—a process to evaluate writing barriers
Come Learn what makes a real, positive difference for students living and learning with dyslexia and dysgraphia.
Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance, Word Prediction Screening Tool, and Participant Resource Folder with extensive resources on apps, extensions, tools and technologies to add to your Dyslexia Toolkit!
