Michelle–Lynn Yap, a Registrar of Educational Therapists in Asia, shares her academic achievements:
Michelle also presented a pre-conference workshop and plenary session at the first Asia-Pacific Conference on Dyslexia and Other Learning Disabilities in Kuching, Sarawak (2013).
We can embrace dyslexia by understanding the models of the disability and being open to change.
The Models of Disability include, the Medical Model, which sees the disabled person or their condition as the problem to be cured. While the Social Model views the disability as a socially-created problem that requires social response.
The Bio-psychosocial Model fuse the two extreme models. It recognizes the dyslexic person's environment and personal factors.
How do we help or support individuals with learning differences? It is important to be ready for a change. Change is only possible when people decide to make a difference, it is about the acceptance of diversity.
