BCcampus Accessibility Bites: The Gift of Dyslexia
2025-11-27 12:00 - 12:30 | Online
Session Description
A 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.
In 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.
Agenda
In this session, we’ll explore:

The three core components underlying a wide range of learning challenges
Tools and strategies that help learners overcome these challenges
How learning challenges can manifest in adult life
What can be done to prevent or correct these challenges early on
Practical strategies to support those working with adults who face learning barriers

About the Facilitator
Sue 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).
She 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.

2025-12-11 12:00 - 12:30 | Online
Accessibility Bites: Access Friction
Dec 11 @ 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm

Session Description
In this interactive session we will explore the concept of Access Friction—the idea that no course can fully anticipate every learner’s needs—and how this limitation opens space for more collaborative and even improvisatory approaches to course design and delivery.
Using a hypothetical case study where access supports both include and exclude specific learners, we will frame Access Friction as an invitation to create deeply inclusive learning environments. Together we will develop responses to the multiple learning needs highlighted in the case, setting aside fixed learning outcomes to embrace learning as a process of experimentation and responsive design.
What to bring (optional): Examples of access friction from your own teaching and learning experience for group discussion.
Agenda

Overview of Access Friction using definitions by disabled researchers, educators, and activists
Use Zoom’s synchronous collaboration tools to respond to a hypothetical case study of Access Friction
Discussion, reflections, and questions
