Dyslexia That Looks Like Me
Dyslexia can be a challenging condition for both children and their parents. However, with the right resources, dyslexia can be managed effectively, and students can thrive academically and personally. For parents of African American students with dyslexia, it is crucial to have access to relevant and reliable resources to support their children’s learning and development.
These resources can include information about dyslexia, tips for working with dyslexic students, and strategies for advocacy and support within their communities. By accessing these resources, parents can empower themselves and their children to overcome the challenges of dyslexia and achieve success in all aspects of their lives.
