Three graduate-level courses on dyslexia are being offered to educate better teachers on how to teach and praise students that struggle with dyslexia. Teachers who take this course also receive a specialist certificate, and it counts towards their Master’s in education. The course was made because teachers collaborated and realized they needed the knowledge.
Teachers continue their education. What should be their focus in continuing education?
Three graduate-level courses to educate teachers of dyslexic students.
Instruction for Students with Literacy Difficulties, Assessment of Multi-Literacies Learning, and Foundations of Developmental Reading are all offered through the series of courses that better educates teachers in the realm of dyslexia and improve their teaching techniques so that education becomes fair and equal for everyone, even those with specialized needs.
Although most kindergarten-12 schools have at least one specialist available for these students, the increase in screenings and identification of students who have dyslexia or characteristics of dyslexia means it is important for individual teachers to be trained in how to meet students’ needs, Thomas said.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
