Dyslexia simulation event
Dyslexia Awareness Month aims to support students with this specific learning difficulty. Dyslexia is a learning impairment that causes problems with reading, writing and spelling. The intelligence of people with dyslexia is unaffected. In order to help facilitate more understanding and awareness about this learning difficulty, Pine-Richland School District is offering a dyslexia simulation event Oct. 25 hosted by the International Dyslexia Association of Pennsylvania. Stations will be set up to learn more about how dyslexia can impact daily functioning when in school. The event will take place at Eden Hall Upper Elementary School from 5:45-8 p.m. The event will kick off in the LGA room and then attendees will break into five different stations in the library and community room that will provide hands-on experiences to mimic what a student or person with dyslexia may endure when completing school-related tasks. Learn more and register at pinerichland.org.
