02.01.2022 October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. Empowerment through self-awareness and self-advocacy Students with dyslexia are at risk for long-term educational and social-emotional consequences, including poor self-esteem and poor self-perception of social and academic competence. Engaging a student, or their advocate, in planning and decision making in relation to their learning gives students with dyslexia the opportunity to be heard and to develop and enact self-advocacy skills. F...or students to develop self-advocacy skills, they need to understand their specific needs, know what will help or support those needs, and have the confidence and avenues to communicate those needs to teachers and others. Parents and educators can build the self-advocacy skills of young people with dyslexia through: talking with the student about individual strengths and challenges in reading encouraging the student’s efforts at speaking up encouraging the student to use classroom accommodations including assistive technologies, and giving the student a say in educational decisions about them.
