Letters to the Editor: Now is  the time to reimagine educational experience

The Dyslexia Association of Ireland calls for more training for teachers in assessing and supporting those students who have dyslexia

Dyslexia is a most debilitating educational millstone which absolutely causes havoc in developmental, emotional and behavioural as well as educational areas of growth.

Shauna Bowers reports on the criticism by the Dyslexia Association of Ireland (DAI) of the Leaving Certificate cycle as it currently operates — Dyslexia Association says Leaving Cert is too narrow and unforgiving (Irish Examiner, October 9).

Highlighting both the narrowness of delivery and the overall assessment models, the DAI calls for a more creative, wide-ranging approach to the curriculum and more training for teachers in assessing and supporting those students who have dyslexia.
