Free Information Session for Early Childhood Educators

You Are Invited To Participate In An Exciting Fully-Funded Early Childhood Educators’ Professional Development PILOT!

NEUROINCLUSIVITY FOR EARLY YEARS

A Combination In-Person And On-Line Course For ECEs In BC

This professional development training will provide participants with simple skills to teach students how to better focus their minds and ready their bodies for learning. 

The course will involve an Information Session, Interview, 4 online modules and a Two Day Workshop, plus a Parent Information module. 

By incorporating these strategies into preschools, we feel this is the first step to achieving NeuroInclusivity for all students, no matter their learning styles. 

Thanks to the Ministry of Education & Child Care, we, at The Whole Dyslexic Society, have the opportunity of sharing this innovative, inspiring, enlightening and essential information with you...for FREE! This is the precursor to eliminating many so-called learning disabilities from ever arising! Let’s do this!

Please join Sue Hall & Julie Brewer on October 25th, 2023 at 7PM Pacific for the Free, Live Information Session. A recording will be available, but we encourage you to attend ‘live’.

Learning Ally's Spotlight on Dyslexia

  • Sue was extremely excited to be presenting a session at the Learning Ally’s Virtual Conference – Spotlight on Dyslexia, June 5, 2020.  She had no idea it was a worldwide audience, over 9,000 people registered.  The organisation has permission to scan any book and attach an audio recording to it, and apparently they had requests for Fish Don’t Climb Trees to be recorded.  They give audio books to their learning challenged members for free along with a scanned version of the text, with a highlighter that shows you where you are.

  • Her session will be available on-demand session through September 30, 2020 to earn up to 16 CE Certificates. Click here to register

Decoda Conference - Speaker - The WDS Chair Sue Hall

Fish Don't Climb Trees: A Whole New Look at Learning Challenges – with Sue Hall, author of Fish Don’t Climb Trees. Sue's aim was to shed light on the 'gift' that leads to both learning challenges and talents. She provided the theory to help understand and overcome learning challenges and a hands-on experience with one of the components. Fish Don’t Climb Trees is based on her personal experience with dyslexia, that of her son, and her clients. The literacy providers were a wonderful audience, so receptive and engaged. Thank you for this experience.
