Experience Dyslexia

A Learning Disabilities Simulation

Part of the IDA-RMB Professional Development Program

 


What is Experience Dyslexia?

expdysunderstand

This simulation lets participants experience some of the challenges and frustrations faced by people with language-based learning differences. Participants are guided through six learning tasks commonly encountered in the classroom or workplace. These activities are followed by a group discussion focusing on experiences shared and lessons learned, as well as practical tips, accommodations and interventions for the classroom.

Want to bring Experience Dyslexia to your group or school?

Simulation events in Colorado can be booked through the Rocky Mountain Branch of the IDA. Events include materials, a dyslexia presentation and a trained facilitator. We recommend a two-hour block of time but can adapt the training to meet your needs.
The cost for us to bring Experience Dyslexia to your group is $250. There is an additional charge for mileage (standard rate) for locations more than 50 miles from Denver. Lodging for facilitators is also a potential additional cost if needed. Scholarships may be available.

If you are interested in learning more about holding a simulation, please email us at ida_rmb@yahoo.com with the following information:

  • Your Name, Email Address, and Phone Number
  • Organization Name
  • Location
  • Target Audience (teachers, community, students, etc.)
  • Estimated number of attendees
  • Requested Date(s)
  • Requested Start and Stop Times
    • Please note that most of our volunteers are educators, therefore staffing a simulation during the work day will be more difficult for us to accommodate. Thank you for understanding!

A member of our Professional Development Committee will contact you to answer questions and help coordinate your event.

 

We look forward to working with you!
