The Training
What is this training?
This stimulating and intensive one-day workshop offers graduates of our Fundamentals training an opportunity to practice newly acquired skills and techniques in a safe, non-discriminatory and ultimately refreshing environment.
The day is open only to those who have completed our original two-day intensive workshop and will bring you in line with the new development of the course.
If you are interested in further developing practical understanding of the Dyslexia Aware therapeutic techniques and devices you learnt on your original Fundamentals course – this is the route for you.
What you’ll be getting?
One-day Intensive Workshop
By popular request, we are now including this additional day full of highly experiential skills training, role play, case studies and live supervision demonstrations – putting into practice the theory gained in the preceding two-day course.
You will join a like-minded group of individuals all of whom have completed our original Fundamentals course. Many graduates asked us to develop a skills training day to try out in depth all the strategies and theories they had learnt – this is it!
As Fundamentals Graduates you know this environment is non-clinical, relaxed and harmonious and encourages Dyslexic professionals to ‘be themselves’ in the best possible way. It is not only about skills training but about replenishment, community and self-knowledge.
We will cover in a practical sense all the content of the Fundamentals course such as philosophy, coaching strategies, role-playing, mindfulness, psycho-education, discussion, presentations, supervision and much more.
