SUMMARY:BCcampus Accessibility Bites: The Gift of Dyslexia
DESCRIPTION:Session Description\nA large number of learners think differently than traditional educational methods account for. They are often labelled as having learning disabilities\, when in reality\, their differences reflect unique strengths\, not deficits. \nIn this session\, Sue will share insights from her hands-on experience working with creative\, inventive\, and highly capable learners who are frequently misunderstood. Educators will gain a deeper understanding of these diverse thinkers and explore ways to better support their unique strengths in educational settings. \nAgenda\nIn this session\, we’ll explore: \n\nThe three core components underlying a wide range of learning challenges\nTools and strategies that help learners overcome these challenges\nHow learning challenges can manifest in adult life\nWhat can be done to prevent or correct these challenges early on\nPractical strategies to support those working with adults who face learning barriers\n\nRegister Now!\nThis notice is to inform you that this session will be recorded\, archived\, and shared after the event. By participating in this session\, you acknowledge that your participation will be recorded and the recording will be made available publicly. \nAbout the Facilitator\nSue Blyth Hall is dyslexic and so is her son. She is a Davis® Facilitator who has been working with children and adults for over twenty-seven years and has never yet found anyone to be learning disabled; some people just learn differently from the way they are taught. She is the Founder of The Whole Dyslexic Society\, a TEDx Speaker (2021)\, Author of Fish Don’t Climb Trees\, and producer of the documentary WHO KNEW Dyslexia is a Way of Thinking (2025).\nShe works with children and adults\, who all share the “Gift of Dyslexia” and sees it manifesting in many areas: reading\, spelling\, paying attention\, math\, co-ordination\, printing\, and more. She works tirelessly to improve the understanding and awareness of what dyslexia is\, how it arises\, ways to correct associated challenges\, and even more: ways that these so-called learning disabilities can be prevented.  \n\n2025-26 Accessibility Bites Series\n\nAccessibility Bites: Introduction to Web Accessibility\, August 28\, 2025 \nAccessibility Bites: Supporting Post-Secondary Students with ADHD\, September 25\, 2025 \nAccessibility Bites: Let’s Talk about Learning Disabilities\, October 30\, 2025 \nAccessibility Bites: The Gift of Dyslexia\, November 27\, 2025 \nAccessibility Bites: Access Friction\, December 11\, 2025 \nAccessibility Bites: UDL 3.0 in Practice\, January 29\, 2026 \nAccessibility Bites: An Indigenous Lens on Disability Rights\, February 26\, 2026\n\nFor recordings and resources from previous Accessibility Bites workshops\, visit the Accessibility Bites Pressbook.  \n
