Early Intervention Helps

As a future-teacher dyslexia is something I have to look for in my classroom. I also would have to know how to accommodate the student how to make sure they are working at their highest potential. I read an article by Evan Carden. It asked two questions One in five kids have dyslexia How many of those go undiagnosed? What can be done to help teachers recognize the signs of dyslexia as early as possible? These questions make me wonder how much responsibility teachers need to have when keeping up on the types of syndromes, warning signs and symptoms those children have and what they could be. They need to know when to refer the student to get help in having them diagnosed. How many children go undiagnosed. Its so important to help students get diganosed because a simply thing could help them progress extremely well in the classroom.

A superintendent in Washington County said “We do know that early intervention helps. If parents recognize their child is struggling and pass that information along to us, we can tackle it." It is a collaboration process, both responsibility of the parent who sees the child at home and the teacher that sees the child at school. That may mean that teachers need to go to training services in order to better help prepare them. They also most know what type of accommodations each child needs to help them in the classroom.
