课程概述

Dyslexia is everywhere, touching so many children and adults, and while science has made extraordinary progress in understanding and clarifying the condition, this incredible powerful knowledge rarely reaches those who most need to know and would greatly benefit from it. Our goal is to change all this with the course you are about to view, produced by Dr. Sally Shaywitz, the Audrey G. Ratner Professor in Learning Development, both the leading scientist studying dyslexia and the most devoted advocate for helping those who are dyslexic. The course addresses and answers just about all the questions you have: beginning with what is reading and what is dyslexia and sharing with you the most up-to-date 21st century federal definition of dyslexia. If you are dyslexic, you’ll come to learn you are not alone – dyslexia is very common affecting one out of five, that is, 20% of the population, including both boys and girls all over the world. The course addresses a major question we hear from so many parents and teachers– how do I know if my child may be dyslexic? What signs or symptoms should I be on the lookout for? And here’s another very important question we hear from so many parents and educators who are eager to do the best for their child – when should screening for dyslexia begin? What is the best method? What should I look for or ask about? A major source of worry for parents is their child’s slow reading- they ask will this prevent a happy future for the child. Yes, dyslexics are slow readers and here, in Coursera, you will come to understand the brain’s role in dyslexia, including slow reading. Great news to share – you will also be so delighted to learn that surrounding a dyslexic’s slow reading is a phenomenal powerful sea of strengths in big picture thinking and reasoning. Dyslexia is a true paradox: dyslexics may be slow readers but at the same time are incredibly fast thinkers! You can be assured, if you care about a child or someone who is dyslexic and have questions or concerns, you will find it addressed here in this course: everything important to know about and help you select the most effective interventions for a dyslexic child; how to go about choosing the best school, including potentially one that is specialized, for such a child, including what is most important to look for when visiting a potential school; the role of accommodations and how to select the best one; and common co-occurring conditions like ADHD and anxiety – their impact, how to recognize and treat. In the following lessons you will meet wonderful, incredibly insightful and highly successful dyslexics – including governors, cardiac surgeons, nationally renowned attorneys, basketball coaches, economists and dyslexic children and their wonderful families who will share their experiences and advice. Enjoy!...

Amazing course and highly recommended. I really appreciated how thorough and well-explained each step was. The questions throughout the video and the quizzes at the end really helped me to focus.

I think this was a well-done course. The only issue I have is it sounded like an infomercial. The course should not make you feel that the one and only quality source of information is from the speaker of the course.

Excellent content and clearly presented. It's very geared toward the U.S., so if you live in another country, just know that not all of the information will be applicable to you.

The first half of the course was fantastic. For a non-American citizen the law unit was not particularly relevant. Overall, I highly recommend the course. I learnt a lot.

Very thoroughly thought out. It would be good for teachers to see children with dyslexia reading.

Great interviews with people sruggling with this condition. Clear explanation of many concepts.

Also, it seems excessively repetitive, there is a promo of the lecturer's book all the time as well as some of the special schools given as an example in the course. Apart from that, the legal part of the issue discussed is based only on the US government and they make you learn all the aspects, even though you are not living in the US.

While this course was great for understanding the history and laws surrounding dyslexia, I was hoping for some concrete strategies to use with my students. Also, the course description states I would get a certificate upon completion. I passed all the quizzes for each module and still have not received my certificate. That is frustrating.

The lectures were informative but tedious to watch, especially with all the repetitions. I was hoping to learn more about the science and practical aspects of helping students with dyslexia.

This course has a lot of fascinating information and material but It was dry listening to it. I had the book and read along. Pages could have accompany the presentation.

Contextually relevant to the USA and not as relevant to my line of practise in New Zealand but great insight into the developmental aspects (brain imaging etc.).

Thank you for the course, full of knowledge and information, I was hopping to find more specific strategies to help my students.

Though this course has good information, As a Title Reading Teacher, I already knew most of the information. I believe this course could be done in more than half the time. The course is also long and laboring and so slow. The speaker knows her material and is smart but very slow in speaking and hard to stay focused on.

I hoped it provided more exercices, clues. It provides USA adresses and laws, but no specific information / tasks for dyslexic people. It is quite repetitive too

I paid for a 1 month subscription and did not receive that appropriate credit for a paid subscription.

It was terrible! There was a tremendous amount of overlap and all I got out of it was that people with dyslexia can be intelligent. It did not offer strategies and was a big advertisement for her book and screening assessment. HUGE waste of time!
