4.9 What Matters When Working with Older Dyslexic Students


Listen Later

Working with older students with dyslexia presents unique challenges due to their complex needs and gaps in foundational literacy skills. These students are often overlooked in broader conversations about the Science of Reading (SOR) and Social-emotional Learning (SEL), with most resources tailored to younger learners.

In this episode, we’re providing diagnostic and prescriptive advice for supporting older dyslexic students in educational and personal growth contexts.

  • Season 1, Episode 15: All About Accommodations for Dyslexia
  • 3.12 Harnessing the Power of Assistive Technology with Katie Larew
