Dyslexia Simulation @ Emanuel Congregation

Join us for this community event hosted by Redwood Schools, presented by Lauren Brown, Director of Literacy Instruction.

This presentation provides an in-depth look at dyslexia, helping you better understand what it is, what it is not, and how it can impact learning. You’ll gain insight into the challenges faced by children and students with dyslexia and explore effective strategies to support their success. Through interactive discussions and hands-on activities, this session will deepen your empathy and equip you with practical tools to help dyslexic learners thrive. Whether you're a parent, educator, or advocate, you'll walk away with valuable knowledge to make a meaningful difference.

The purpose of the simulation is to help individuals who do not have dyslexia gain perspective regarding the frustrations those with dyslexia frequently experience in a classroom setting. However, individuals with dyslexia also often find remarkable workarounds and ways to compensate for their disability. We suspect many of you will find the various simulation tasks frustrating, anxiety-provoking, and perhaps at times overwhelming. Throughout the experience, it is also important to recognize that each individual with dyslexia presents differently in terms of how their challenges impact their learning experience and daily functioning.
