Q1. What are some reasons a child with #dyslexia might hesitate to use
accommodations? And what would you say to help shift his perceptions?

A1: I think that any child with a learning disability often faces embarrassment in
the classroom. This can stop them from asking for help because they don't want
their classmates to know that they may need it. #LDchat

A1: To help shift this perception, I want to make it known in my classroom that it
is ok for all students to ask for help and that everyone can obtain their own
needs. #LDchat

classrooms will allow use phones #ldchat

A2: I personally do not have experience with assistive technology in regards to
dyslexia. Though I know that there are tons of great resources that work on
reading and writing. I would love to learn what specific programs are available!

A2: Assistive Tech plays a HUGE role for my students. I utilize Learning Ally,
Google Read & Write, LiveScribe Pens, or audiobooks, in general. #ldchat

As a future teacher, it is great to learn about tools that have been successful for
other teachers. Thank you for giving some examples that I could use in my future
classroom! #LDchat

Q3. Studying can be frustrating for kids with #dyslexia. What are some study tips
you’d recommend to help make things easier? #ldchat

A3: Like in the last question, assistive technology is definitely a tool that could
help studying easier. Although not all students have access to these tools at
home. Therefor, having a parent help the student at home with read out loud
techniques and more can help! #LDchat

A3 We have a homework caddy. All the stuff in one place. Pencils erasers, pens,
markers, glue, scissors, calculator. #ldchat

Q4. Why is self-advocacy important for kids with #dyslexia, and what are some
ways you can teach your child or student to advocate for herself? #ldchat

Megan Phillips @educmegephil · Jan 24 
Replying to @UnderstoodOrg
A4: It is so important for children with dyslexia to advocate for themselves
 A4: It is so important for children with dyslexia to advocate for themselves
because school is about growing and learning. These students should try and do
everything they can to better themselves and not be embarrassed about doing
so because everyone has weaknesses. #LDchat

A4: Self advocacy is important for all students in a classroom. It allows you to
know a students strengths and weaknesses which is important for the student
and teacher to know. #ldchat
