This webinar is designed for speech pathologists who are interested in working more confidently in the area of dyslexia, but who may feel unsure about where their role begins, what they need to know, and how to make sense of the many different programs, opinions and pathways in this space.
We’ll look at the speech pathology role in dyslexia through a practical, evidence-informed lens, including what SPs can contribute, why literacy sits within our scope, and why supporting dyslexic students requires more than simply choosing a program.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of the key areas that need to be considered when supporting students with dyslexia. The aim is to help you feel more grounded, clearer about the questions to ask, and more confident about your next step, whether that is learning more, seeking supervision, adjusting therapy goals, screening more carefully, or knowing when to refer on.
