Centre trains teachers, parents on dyslexia

The Amina Dyslexia Centre, Kaduna, has trained 20 heads of private schools and parents on dyslexia, in a bid to create awareness on the condition among students and how it affects learning outcomes.

Dyslexia, as described by the centre’s Director of Operations, Ms Anita Kevin, is a condition that makes it difficult for the brain to process information, with the key sign of the condition as difficulty in matching letters to their sounds.

Kevin said in Kaduna on Sunday that the training was part of activities to commemorate the 2020 dyslexia awareness month.

According to her, the training is necessary following the low awareness of dyslexia among teachers in Kaduna, adding that about 98 per cent of them, did not know about the condition. (NAN)
