Navigating Dyslexia in Louisiana Schools: Identification, Remediation, Accommodation, and Accountability
This presentation will delve into the research and theoretical foundations that inform effective math instruction for students with dyslexia and other learning differences. We will explore the prevalence and impact of dyslexia and dyscalculia on students’ mathematical abilities, understand key research findings and explore the cognitive and neurological underpinnings of these learning differences. Participants will learn the importance of explicit instruction and multisensory techniques in supporting students with learning differences. By the end of this session, educators will have a solid understanding of the theoretical frameworks and research that support effective math instruction for students with learning differences.
