Presented in partnership with Everyone Reading Illinois, Warren Township Youth & Family Services, & Warren Special Recreation Association.
"The goal of the simulation is to give a hands-on experience to increase awareness of the difficulties and frustrations individuals with dyslexia encounter every day. By increasing understanding of occurrences that may make life difficult for these individuals, the hope is for participates to gain greater empathy. The Simulation is divided to 5 stations. Each simulation stations takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes to complete, including a short discussion period after each experience with the facilitator. The stations reflect different classroom tasks and the skills needed to complete the tasks."
