How can we help students with dyslexia?

First, it’s super important that we identify students struggling with any language processing as early as possible. As soon as students are entering pre-school and kindergarten, teachers should be looking for any of the signs.

Early intervention should be a priority. Students struggling with dyslexia will need more individualized assistance on a very consistent basis. Researchers suggest that teachers work with students on reading skills each day. If possible, break your students into small groups so that you can provide more personalized instruction to each student.

Teachers need to be adequately prepared and trained to help students with dyslexia. It should be a priority of school districts to provide educational opportunities for teachers to gain more skills on working with dyslexic populations.

The Sensory Path can help! The Sensory Path offers the opportunity for teachers and therapists to work with students on their word recognition, phonological awareness, and recall. Read our recent blog on how The Sensory Path can be a vital tool for dyslexic interventions.

Push Walls are a great proprioceptive activity for your sensory seeking AND sensory avoidant students. Each student will have different needs and therapy objectives, but the Push Wall is a universal tool to address proprioceptive concerns.
To achieve the intended outcome of the Push Wall, it’s important that you install correctly and know how to direct your students on proper use.
Some signs that your students may need a proprioceptive activity include biting, hitting, climbing, jumping, hyperextending joints, and excessive roughness. You may also notice disengagement while walking or sitting in their chair. They may appear to be more clumsy than usual, bumping into walls or objects. They may be slumped over and seemingly too tired to sit up straight.
