Graduate Certificate in Dyslexia Specialist

Wright State University

The Dyslexia Specialist certificate program is designed to meet the growing need for trained professionals to work with the high number of students diagnosed with dyslexia or who have dyslexia tendencies. The program is not just for educators, but also for parents and other professionals who want to learn more about dyslexia and how to support individual learning needs. Satisfactory completion of the program gives candidates training in identifying the key characteristics of dyslexia, how the dyslexic brain processes information, how to assess, diagnose and implement school-wide plans that support students with dyslexia, and how to advocate on behalf of such individuals. The program is 11 credit hours. Most courses are offered synchronously, online.
