Module 3: Dyslexia Foundations for Advocates | Dyslexia Advocacy Training (2026 Fellowship)

This recorded training session forms part of the Dyslexia Advocates Fellowship Programme 2026 and provides a comprehensive, evidence-informed foundation on dyslexia for education advocates working within African contexts. Facilitated by Fati Siddique, the session offers a grounded exploration of dyslexia as a specific learning difficulty (SpLD), moving beyond myths and surface-level understanding to examine identification, support pathways, and the realities learners face in schools and communities. It situates dyslexia within African educational systems, addressing access gaps, assessment limitations, and the importance of strengths-based advocacy. In this training, you will learn: • What dyslexia is—and what it is not • Key cognitive characteristics and learning profiles associated with dyslexia • The difference between identification, screening, and formal assessment • How dyslexia intersects with other learning differences such as dyscalculia • Common myths and misconceptions that weaken effective advocacy • Barriers to access and support within African school systems • Why strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approaches improve outcomes • What practical, context-aware support strategies look like in classrooms This session is designed for education advocates, teachers, school leaders, policymakers, parents, and organisations committed to advancing inclusive education and improving outcomes for learners with dyslexia across Africa. #Dyslexia #DyslexiaAwareness #InclusiveEducation #LearningDifferences #AfricaEducation #Neurodiversity #DyslexiaAdvocacy #SpLD #EducationEquity
