This talk will include definitions of what dyslexia is (and isn't) and discussion of an important model explaining how we neurologically learn to read. You'll learn about risk factors, common and less common signs of dyslexia, common comorbidities and what it will really look like in the classroom. We will talk about immediate things you can do to help dyslexic learners in the classroom and the class also includes a case study of a bilingual dyslexic child during 2 years of therapy.
Target audience: Preschool and early primary school teachers, special educators
Helping, sharing and comforting behaviors are observed in children in the first two years of life. What happens afterwards? This session will explore how developing attentional and behavior control capabilities, as well as social development, come into play in modulating prosocial behavior.

Target audience: Teachers and educators PreK-12th grade, including teachers focused on special support needs.
