3.16 Top 5 Things Teachers and Parents Can Do if They Suspect Dyslexia
Even with the wave of SOR at the Tier I level, we still have students who won’t be making effective progress, leading teachers and parents to ask questions about how to help all students meet their potential. You may be seeing more questions arise from parents and teachers regarding possible dyslexia and what this means for a pathway to diagnosis or proper instruction.
In this episode, we’re sharing some of our top tips for parents and teachers who might be suspecting dyslexia.
