31 Mar Webinar on Effective Interventions
Dyslexia Ireland were very pleased to be invited by Tralee Education Centre to present a webinar on March 25, 2025, on our new guidance for schools: “What to Look For When Selecting Interventions for Dyslexic Learners”. This webinar provided an opportunity to summarise the key points of our guidance and elaborate on how it can be used by schools.
Dyslexia Ireland published this guidance to assist schools when selecting literacy programmes to help support dyslexic learners. The guidance provides a tool for both evaluating a school’s existing literacy resources, and to assist when considering acquiring new programmes.
The guidance is based on a high-level analysis of scientific findings as to what works best for children with dyslexia, consistent with the current research, and was published in January 2025 in collaboration with a working group of Irish experts on literacy and dyslexia.
Thank you to Terry O’Sullivan, Director at the Tralee Education Centre for facilitating the event and to Martin Moloney, Director of Clare Education Centre for hosting us on the evening. Also a big thank you to working group members Jennifer O’Sullivan and Deirdre O’Toole who joined the webinar as panellists.
And another thank you to the other members of the working group and other colleagues who provided feedback on early drafts of the guidance. Your collective wisdom and support is greatly appreciated.
