Gain a solid, theoretical and practical grounding in dyslexia and literacy-related difficulties with our Award in Perspectives on Dyslexia.
This Level 4 Award provides you with the opportunity to gain knowledge of the characteristics of dyslexia, identify how to support specific weaknesses commonly associated with dyslexia and understand the key principles that underpin specialist teaching.
Why study the Award in Perspectives on Dyslexia?
This Award consists of three Units:
- Dyslexia and Co-occurring Difficulties provides an introduction to key elements of current research and practice in dyslexia, and conditions that commonly co-occur with it. You will learn about the current theories of dyslexia and the impact that dyslexia and co-occurring difficulties have on performance in a range of settings.
- Supporting Individuals with Memory Weaknesses explores some of the different aspects of memory and promotes an understanding of the barriers that working memory weaknesses can create within learning environments. It introduces a more analytical approach to teaching, providing you with the opportunity to reflect upon your own practice and to consider how it can be tailored to strategically support learners with dyslexia and working memory weakness.
- Structured, Cumulative Multisensory Tuition for Learners with Dyslexia introduces you to the concepts of structured, cumulative, multisensory learning. You’ll explore the links between attention, memory and multisensory input, and examine the need for structured, explicit intervention. Completing this Unit will enable you to design lessons that maximise learning potential.
