Description
Children with dyslexia are vulnerable to feelings to low self-esteem, which may lead to sadness and a loss of motivation to read and learn. Participants will learn how to recognize low self-esteem and how to nurture a resilience that protects against this outcome. Specific interventions that foster self-esteem at home and at school will be presented.
