This is the best course I've undertaken on Dyslexia.
I particularly appreciate the brain scan imagery, the testimonies of people who overcame dyslexia, and the hope given by knowing that systematic phonological instruction can improve a child's chances from KG onwards.
Thank you

I really enjoyed this course. The more I learn about dyslexia, the more I realize this was probably my problem growing up and as I got older I found strategies to help myself. I especially loved that this was a video course! That really works well with my learning style.

This is so interesting and taught me so many things about dyslexia. Absolutely everything about dyslexia covered from diagnosis, who can diagnose, how these brains work, medications, law behind exemptions and so much more. I believe every teacher should complete this course!

The course was easy to understand and well presented. Any educational and legal terminology was easily explained, abbreviations were explained more than once. I loved the way I could pick up and stop at any time, so learn fitted my circumstances and connectivity issues.

The questions after each section are helpful. The presenter and the real life testimonies helped me connect to the materials. Having the text along with the spoken word was helpful to me since English s my second language. I am interested in more special education classes.

This course has a wealth of information and paired perfectly with reading the book Overcoming Dyslexia. It was paced well and I liked the format of watching videos and answering questions. I also liked the option of reading it while it was being presented.

Excellent course on all aspects of dyslexia! Dr. Shaywitz eloquently described everything one needs to know about this disability and how to help these students. Her lifelong dedication to helping dyslexics was evident in her presentation.

I had already read books about dyslexia but none of them showed me as much as this course. As a special needs education teacher I have been able to help my students who suffer from dyslexia and watched them grow in their reading skills

Excellent explanations for people that want to learn the big picture and details of dyslexia. The Shaywitzes' work over decades including the CLS gives us the current evidence and pathways for all dyslexics to succeed.
