Orlando Bloom, Whoopi Goldberg and Steven Spielberg are some of the famous people who live with dyslexia. It’s a common learning disorder but would you recognize the signs?
Does your child or someone you know:
It could mean they have dyslexia. With this course you will learn the signs of dyslexia, and ways to help people manage and live with their learning difficulties.
About 40 million adults in the US show signs of dyslexia. Unfortunately, only around 2 million are aware they are dyslexic. It tends to run in families, so if your parents are dyslexic, there’s a greater chance you will be too.
People with dyslexia learn differently. Teachers, employers and their loved ones often feel frustrated because they are not being understood. And it’s even more stressful for the person with dyslexia. They want to learn but the method of teaching isn’t working for them.
In our course, you’ll learn the best teaching strategies for people with dyslexia. With your help, they can conquer reading, writing and remembering by learning in the way that suits them.
Understanding dyslexia awareness means you can help people reach their full potential whether that is children in the classroom, people at work, friends, family or neighbors.
Our online accredited course will help you to understand dyslexia, find out the causes and effects of the condition, and learn about dyslexia treatment and other strategies to work with dyslexia.
People with dyslexia run the risk of being left behind if there aren’t enough people around who can work with them. It could be a teacher who doesn’t understand why a pupil won’t learn. A parent who knows her kid is smart but stumbles over words when reading. An employer may not realize a worker’s full potential because he or she cannot remember instructions.
You’re in a fantastic position to help change things around. Sign up for our online Dyslexia Awareness course today, and get started towards your rewarding new vocation or career helping people manage dyslexia.
Many people think dyslexia is a visual problem where kids write backwards or reverse letters. It's a common preconception.
Dyslexia has a negative impact on learning but people with this issue are just as smart as their colleagues or classmates.
Dyslexia isn't something that will be outgrown or cured.
That's why it's important for people to know how to teach and train people with dyslexia so that they can overcome their challenges and be as successful as they deserve to be.
You will learn the facts about dyslexia and how to properly help people overcome their learning difficulties. You’ll understand exactly what dyslexia is, how to spot the signs of dyslexia, ways to cope with dyslexia and any therapies or treatments which can help.

I love IOA. I have finished many courses and will continue to do so as I have tried other online schools and this one is #1. Modules are easy to comprehend and the exams are not easy so be sure to study! Good luck on your new journey! Rosemary ?Villatoro - United States
I am 45 years old now and going back to school is not an option for me at this time. I needed to take something that would help me get a good scope of my options in the work force and make it easier for me to understand the expectations and demands of my choices. This was heaven sent and it has helped me to transition to where I want to be today. Marianella?Morales - United States
Fantastic way to study in your own home, especially if you have kids. It enables me to start as soon as the kids are in bed & fit it around my family life, fantastic :-) Catherine?Holmes - United Kingdom
There are a number of things I do in my everyday job that I do without truly understanding why. This course has given and is giving me a deeper understanding of what I do. I work with 5 - 7 year olds focusing on literacy so this course is really relevant even though I do not work with any child with diagnosed dyslexia, we use a number of strategies within this course every day. Jane?Macdonald - New Zealand
I like how IOA makes things easy to understand and their courses get right to the most important and useful information. That knowledge can be used right away in the relevant line of work. I learned so much from this course. The courses are designed to present the most helpful information in a concise manner. The Dyslexia course was very well put together with lots of practical application and advice on how to put the learning into action Peter Rowbottom - Canada
