Dyslexia training, in partnership with Made By Dyslexia

One single day can make a world of difference to the outcomes of the one in five dyslexic learners in every classroom.

That’s why Made By Dyslexia is launching the Learn Dyslexia campaign and asking every school across the world to allow every teacher to #TakeADayForDyslexia and skill up using this free online training.

In just one day, teachers (and parents) can take Made By Dyslexia’s three transformative trainings below and learn how to spot, support, and empower every dyslexic child. New York City has already trained all 100,000 teachers using this online video-based training.

It’s been created by global charity, Made By Dyslexia, in partnership with Microsoft, and features expert teachers from schools that are world renowned for supporting dyslexia. And now after-school.co.za has been given permission to add this amazing course to our portal and SACE accredited, so our teachers can get their CPTD points for this course!
