The online course “Dyslexia: How to identify it and What to do” is developed by Dyslexia and Literacy International and hosted by the European Dyslexia Association. This learning course is relevant to all teachers precisely because all teachers can expect to come across pupils with dyslexia to a greater or lesser degree in their classroom. This course creates awareness and presents appropriate responses to learners of different learning abilities in an inclusive classroom setting. Preferably, it is be used during Initial teacher Training.
