With an estimated 600,000 Malaysian school children affected by dyslexia, the Dyslexia Association of Malaysia aims to teach educators how to best help such students learn. Current teaching methodologies there have proven ineffective. However, the group aims to change that through its innovative teaching workshop. Recently, about 100 educators from across Malaysia attended a weekend workshop in which participants learned dyslexics process information differently and generally don’t have intelligence deficits. Teachers agreed that early diagnosis and intervention are crucial steps in learning how to help students.
