For part 2 of ‘Dyslexic Learners at Home’, we highlight a selection of free webinars and other online resources that are available right now for those looking to help their dyslexic learners at home.
Free webinars from the British Dyslexic Association
While the BDA usually specialises in professional training, it is currently offering a series of free webinars aimed at parents of dyslexic children. The next one is this Wednesday, 8th April, at 7.30 pm and will focus on “How to prepare your child for success in life”. Delivered by former chair of the BDA, Margaret Malpas MBE, the session will focus on the success factors for dyslexic children and how to help your child develop these.
Reserve a place here on the BDA website or sign up to their mailing list to find out about other upcoming events.
