About the Certificate Training
Dyslexia is the most common learning disability affecting nearly 10% of school children. It is a condition where children are unable to acquire skills related to reading, writing and spelling despite possessing the required intelligence, being exposed to a conventional classroom curriculum and in the absence of sensory deficits in vision and hearing.
Early identification of literacy problems that may be indicative of a learning disability, allows for timely and effective remedial intervention. Such intervention enables persons to cope with academic challenges better and can make the difference between failing to achieve desired academic outcomes and substantially improved academic performance.
