Dyslexia, Dyscalculia & Dysgraphia:

Building NEW Neuropathways to Master Visual and Auditory Skills

Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia are more common than you may think, and are some of the most difficult learning disabilities to diagnose, thanks to their “messy” and often mismatched symptoms. Even if you are able to properly diagnose these disabilities, treatments can be frustratingly difficult for your young clients.

Join 2 hand-picked experts, Mary Asper MS, CCC-SLP and Penny Stack, OTD, OTR/L, CLT, and go beyond reading interventions in this collaborative training experience! From assessing the client in front of you, to turning everyday games and routines that go beyond simple writing or reading exercises into successful treatment, this integrative online course takes you through the latest research to successfully develop neuropathways and increase your clients’ chance of success.

Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia

They may seem similar, but treatment is far more complex. Dive into these 3 modules to develop a comprehensive understanding of these common learning disabilities and how to treat each client’s unique needs.

Module 1: Understanding the Difference: Assessments & Diagnostic Tools

Difficulties go beyond reading or writing, but when you know how to properly identify and address Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Dyslexia, you give your clients a better chance of functional success. This module walks you through the commonly misunderstood symptoms that can confuse treatment. You’ll dive into:

 

• Red flags, definitions, severity levels, and common co-morbidities associated with these disabilities, including anxiety

• Coordination and academic testing, along with areas that are non-diagnostic

• Screenings, music and movement, coordination assessments and much more

 

Module 2: Tackling Executive Function

In this module, you’ll learn how to approach the higher-level cognitive skills your clients need to control and coordinate their other cognitive abilities and behaviors, which often lead to frustration and limited function. You’ll discover:

 

• Dozens of fun games and activities that increase executive function skills

• How to approach auditory processing and common deficits

• How to integrate powerful therapeutic approaches into a three-step, brain-based protocol that can be used with diverse populations and ages

 

Module 3: Learning on Their Level

It’s frustrating enough for your clients to learn, so why not make it easier? This module will demonstrate brain-based techniques to increase reading, writing, math, organization, and many other skills. These tools can also be used in your session or at your client’s home. Uncover ways to:

 

• Address visual processing disabilities and organization deficits with fun activities

• Use the power of playing games to increase efficiency with common obstacles, such as math, writing, reading, and phonemic/phonological concerns – including using assistive technology

• Write an effective IEP or 504 plan for overall success

 

Dyslexia: Building NEW Neuropathways to Master Visual and Auditory Memory, Visual Perceptual Skills, Visual Motor Skill Development and More!

Packed full of mock sessions and real-life case studies, this 3-part training arms you with the knowledge to identify visual problems that impact learning and formulate therapeutic interventions you can begin using immediately. You’ll learn exactly how to leverage the power of the brain to enhance your therapeutic approach and increase your effectiveness with even your most challenging client cases, and take home dozens of worksheets for screenings and so much more.

Module 1: Dyslexia 101

Gain a powerful understanding of Dyslexia in this comprehensive module. Penny Stack, OTD, OTR/L, CLT, breaks down the must-know’s of Dyslexia, including the common misconceptions surrounding the disabilities that often leads to a misdiagnosis, and how to use the brain in your favor. You’ll walk through:

 

• Myths and misconceptions

• Types of Dyslexia and how to spot symptoms, especially what you’ll “hear” most

• How the brain works with this disability and the neuroplasticity approach

 

Module 2: Decoding the Dots: Making the Connection

In this module, you’ll dive into real-life videos! These case studies will show you examples of what you may see in practice, along with how to approach each case. You’ll learn:

 

• Step-by-step approaches to each case, providing a unique client-centered approach to this complex disability

• Assessment tools and interventions, including worksheets you can use in your practice, to better understand the client in front of you

• How to assess and work with visual perceptual skills to increase overall function

 

Module 3: Building the Neuropathways

You don’t need to be a brain scientist to tap into the power of neuroplasticity and revolutionize your approach to treating dyslexia. This module will demonstrate how brain-based tools and activities redevelop neuropathways, to help your client process information on a different level. You’ll discover:

 

• How to test with the team, including the role of the OT to increase your young client’s success

• How to redevelop neuropathways and test to confirm if one was built

• Evaluation and treatment techniques, along with tools and worksheets for reading, writing, sound association and much more
