It’s Aloha Friday and week 4 of #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth! Did you know that individuals with dyslexia are particularly vulnerable to experiencing overwhelming stress and anxiety? When a person does not fully understand their learning difference, they may tend to blame themselves for their difficulties. And, years of doubting and blaming themselves may lead to poor self-esteem and feeling more stressed and anxious.
Check out the link below to read about a step-by-step guide to help reduce stress and achieve greater success.

Aloha Friday! It’s week 3 of #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth, and we’re discussing the differences between accommodations and modifications. They’re both useful for students with dyslexia and others with learning differences, but accommodations adjust the method in which information is taught or tested without changing the level of learning and performance expectations. Modifications offer the student a way to demonstrate their abilities while also changing or reducing the skill level being taught.
(Hint: Check out this link before answering the question below!
Which statement is false?
a. Accommodations are adjustments made to allow a student to demonstrate knowledge, skills and abilities without lowering learning expectations.
b. Accommodations give students an unfair advantage and change the skills that tests measure.
c. Modifications change instructional content and knowledge as well as the way they are assessed.
Email your answer to info.hi@dyslexiaida.org . You’ll be entered to win a prize, to be drawn at the end of the month.

Welcome to week 2 of #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth! You may be asking, why #GoRedForDyslexia? The red marker used to highlight the mistakes in written work is all too familiar for people with dyslexia around the world. Groups advocating for people with dyslexia have chosen red in order to take back its meaning and globally promote dyslexia awareness in a fun and positive way. And, if you haven’t signed up yet, please don’t forget to sign up for DyslexiaCon 2021! It’s fully virtual; sign up here: dyslexiacon.org

October is #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth! Did you know that dyslexia is the most common cause of reading, writing, and spelling difficulties? It’s much more common than you think. In fact, 15-20% of the population has a language-based learning disability. And of the students with specific learning disabilities receiving special education services, 70-80% have deficits in reading. We are here to support you, your ʻohana, and students with dyslexia. Through the month of October, we will be sharing dyslexia facts – participate in our weekly trivia to win prizes!
