Welcome Letter with Pre-Conference Details
Session Evaluation
Goal Setting Organizer
There are many challenges for those wishing to pursue further academic studies, at fellowship and doctoral level, for example. However, students who have Dyslexia, or other so-called disabilities, meet further challenges which are not recognised in the system, nor countered imaginatively and fairly using UDL perspectives and strategies to allow equal access and expression for all students. The label of ‘dyslexia’ can get in the way of acknowledging the ability and potential success of individual students, particularly in the context of fulfilling their educational promise.
This presentation sets out to chart the journey of a Marie Curie Fellow with Dyslexia and shows how he has successfully overcome unnecessary barriers throughout his educational journey, from primary to tertiary level. The session will ground our thinking theoretically in the fields of UDL and Social Justice. It also provide practical strategies for supporting all students and suggestions about the professional development of teachers.
