ABOUT THE COURSE 课程介绍

This e-learning course introduces participants to a broad overview of Dyslexia, a specific learning difficulty. In Singapore, the prevalence of dyslexia amongst the population is estimated to be 10% of which 4% will have dyslexia severe enough to warrant intervention. Hence this course provides a useful foundation to understand more about this specific learning difficulty, the assessment, and support of students with dyslexia in relation to Chinese language. It is hoped that this course will interest participants to pursue professional teaching courses with the DAS Academy. Share your thoughts and learning journey or ask the lecturer a question on the discussion platform.

本课程将概述特殊学习困难的类型之一—读写障碍。在新加坡，有读写障碍的人数跟国际人口的百分之四至十的出现率一致。因此本课程希望让学员进一步了解读写障碍与其他同时出现的学习障碍（如：言语学习障碍、动作协调障碍、算术学习障碍、注意力不足或过动症、等），以及如何帮助有读写障碍的学生学习，尤其是华文。希冀本课程能激发学员的兴趣并就读DAS专科学院的专业教学课程。您也能在论坛中分享您的观点或提问。
