I feel like I did not leave this course with any new information. She stated it was not a visual deficit disorder, but then listed many visual perception activities to complete. I would have liked more evidence to support how we can assist children and understanding behind it vs very generic treatment ideas and a shot in the dark.

Outlining that dyslexia is often mistaken for adhd as many of the same signs including inattention can be present. Adhd, dyslexia and ED have a greater overlap than I expected.

I appreciate the speaker naming items in her screening for dyslexia such as diffifulty with naming letters of the alphabet, difficulty rhyming, trying to sound out sight words, etc. I appreciate Magan talking about accommodations such as allow the child to take the test orally; modifying work to read at the child's level, ideas for vocabulary homework, etc. I was not aware of integrating reflexes such as the ATNR and STNR for dyslexia.

The presentation was lacking in that their was a lot of good information that was not visually represented in the slides, that made it difficult to follow. The overall presentation would benefit from correcting that, especially a presentation about dyslexia!

She is well-knowledgeable, loved the addition of resources, and loved the visuals/tables at the beginning of her presentation. I feel more confident in supporting my students with dyslexia. An area of growth would be to see the interventions she listed on a slide or multiple slides. As a primarily visual learning, having those in visual format would have been helpful for me versus just auditorily.
