Location: Cary Library, Large Meeting Room (across from Children's Library), 1874 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington
Nancy Duggan, co-founder of the group, Decoding Dyslexia MA will talk with us about how dyslexia affects the stages of learning to read and how to recognize which skills need to be targeted at the various stages to ensure continued progress and advancement in your child’s reading level. We will discuss how to recognize your child's specific learning needs and how evidence based intervention can target those needs with measurable and meaningful goals. She will give an overview of some concrete resources that parents can use to collaborate effectively at IEP and 504 Accommodation team meetings.
