Have trouble remembering dates, names or phone numbers? It could mean they have dyslexia. With this course you will learn the signs of dyslexia, and ways to help people manage and live with their learning difficulties.

About 40 million adults in the US show signs of dyslexia. Unfortunately, only around 2 million are aware they are dyslexic. It tends to run in families, so if your parents are dyslexic, there’s a greater chance you will be too.

People with dyslexia learn differently. Teachers, employers and their loved ones often feel frustrated because they are not being understood. And it’s even more stressful for the person with dyslexia. They want to learn but the method of teaching isn’t working for them.

In our course, you’ll learn the best teaching strategies for people with dyslexia. With your help, they can conquer reading, writing and remembering by learning in the way that suits them.

Understanding dyslexia awareness means you can help people reach their full potential whether that is children in the classroom, people at work, friends, family or neighbors.

Our online accredited course will help you to understand dyslexia, find out the causes and effects of the condition, and learn about dyslexia treatment and other strategies to work with dyslexia.

People with dyslexia run the risk of being left behind if there aren’t enough people around who can work with them. It could be a teacher who doesn’t understand why a pupil won’t learn. A parent who knows her kid is smart but stumbles over words when reading. An employer may not realize a worker’s full potential because he or she cannot remember instructions.

You’re in a fantastic position to help change things around. Sign up for our online Dyslexia Awareness course today, and get started towards your rewarding new vocation or career helping people manage dyslexia.
