 Workshop on Dyslexia

Learning disability refers to a cluster of symptoms which indicate difficulties in acquiring language skills such as reading, spelling, writing, comprehension during normal classroom instruction. Learning disability makes it very difficult for a student to succeed academically. Since dyslexia is a learning disability, the teacher is the best person to identify it. So to face such challenges, a workshop on teaching strategies was organised at St Joseph’s Senior Secondary School Sector 44D, Chandigarh to sensitize the teachers to meet the psychological and educational needs of a learning disabled student in the classroom. The main objective of the workshop was to enable the teachers to create a supportive and congenial atmosphere in the class in order to provide remediation to a learning disabled child. The workshop was conducted by MS Bharti Kapoor a famous psychologist and educational consultant. She shared her experiences in dealing with such children and gave some important tips how to teach a learning disabled child. She made everyone aware that the assessment of dyslexia is carried out using a series of age appropriate culturally valid psychological tests on the children in their native language. The Principal Ms Monica Chawla drew the attention of the teachers to the fact that students have different learning abilities and teachers should identify these differences and adopt various teaching strategies. She further said as teachers, we do meet the educational needs of the students under our care but it is important to cater to the psychological and emotional needs of the students especially in the case of the students with learning disabilities. We should all come forward with a positive frame of mind as: “Dyslexia is not a disability, It is a different learning style, And a differently wired arrangement to learn differently”
