Join Bexley small-business owner and educator, Rayna Weiner, for a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience that will simulate different aspects of learning that are affected by dyslexia.
Join Bexley small-business owner and educator, Rayna Weiner, for a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience. During this workshop, participants will be broken into small groups and will experience first-hand what it's like to learn at school as a student with dyslexia. Participants will work their way through six stations. These stations will simulate different aspects of learning that are affected by dyslexia and related learning disabilities. While students experience the effects of dyslexia in many different ways, this simulation is designed to heighten awareness of some of the challenges they may face.
