Conference about dyslexia planned
Fifteen percent of all American students may have dyslexia, according to estimates from the Department of Health and Human Services. The International Dyslexia Association in Baltimore says early identification and appropriate intervention are essential.
Many parents, however, are unaware of the appropriate interventions or remediation programs for their children. The association's South Carolina branch provides objective information and research-based knowledge about dyslexia as well as referrals to a network of learning disability professionals and organizations for testing and screening.
The International Dyslexia Association's South Carolina branch will hold its annual conference Saturday at Sandhills School in Columbia.
The conference includes speakers on social skills, written expression, vocabulary, math and more. Registration is $35 for students, $55 for association members and $70 for nonmembers. Scholarships are available.
For registration or more information, contact Betsy Fanning at bfanning@tridentacademy.com or SCB-IDA at 864-483-0707.
