Dyslexia, Dyscalculia & Dysgraphia: Building NEW Neuropathways to Master Visual and Auditory Skills – Mary Asper & Penny Stack

Does this sound familiar? 

He’s sitting at the table, his hand struggling to write the letters most kids get in a snap. His breath comes out in huffs, small groans fall from his lips, and the inevitable hair grab occurs as frustration takes over.

He just can’t get it.

The words he’s reading make no sense. Writing isn’t any easier. Suddenly there’s shortness of breath and a visible withdrawal as he retreats from the exercises you put in front of him.

You’re supposed to help him, but even as you sit there, trying to walk him through the reading and writing exercises you have in your toolbox for treating dyslexia, you know that it’s not working.

It can make you feel like a failure.

Those exercises might have worked for the little girl yesterday, but today’s a different story. This child is a unique case, just like every single person with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia, which means your treatment approach requires more than the average techniques.

Dyslexia, Dyscalculia & Dysgraphia: Building NEW Neuropathways to Master Visual and Auditory Skills is a brand-new online course, featuring dyslexia-based learning disorder experts, Mary Asper MS, CCC-SLP and Penny Stack, OTD, OTR/L, CLT, who will share their combined 60 years of experience to bring you therapeutic interventions to increase your effectiveness with even your most challenging clients.

This 6-module online course will guide you step-by-step through real-life cases as you discover the multi-faceted evaluations and treatments that encompass auditory, visual, and phonemic/phonological processes, plus much more. You’ll walk away with integrative strategies to:

• Assess and improve your clients’ reading, writing, and arithmetic abilities

From assessing the client in front of you, to turning everyday games and routines that go beyond simple writing or reading exercises into successful treatment, this integrative online course takes you through the latest research to successfully develop neuropathways and increase your clients’ chance of success.

Difficulties go beyond reading or writing, but when you know how to properly identify and address Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Dyslexia, you give your clients a better chance of functional success. This module walks you through the commonly misunderstood symptoms that can confuse treatment. You’ll dive into:

Red flags, definitions, severity levels, and common co-morbidities associated with these disorders, including anxiety

Screenings, music and movement, coordination assessments and much more

Dozens of fun games and activities that increase executive function skills

How to approach auditory processing and common deficits

How to integrate powerful therapeutic approaches into a three-step, brain-based protocol that can be used with diverse populations and ages
