October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, a time to share resources in support of children and adults with dyslexia. One such resource is Ivana Dakic – a certified dyslexia specialist.

Ivana maintains the concept that the best practice for teaching children with dyslexia is to teach them by engaging all their senses (multisensory teaching. This means using visuals, motion, body movement, hands-on, and auditory elements in their learning. „It’s important to find what my students do well and set them up for success through concrete teaching practices.

In Ivana’s own experience, she has found her students to be both gifted and challenged in ways that are more than exceptional.

I have never met anyone more uniquely suited to work with dyslexic children than Ivana – seeing how her students are enjoying her classes immensely and not having the fear of struggling to learn! “Despite the difficulties dyslexics experience along the way, they often thrive when challenged, becoming even more intrigued and curious” she says. “We are especially invigorated when our unique perspective is recognized and valued.”

Her school, a great little home-based private setting, encourages creativity, curiosity, and the inquisitive mind of every child.

Ivana’s structured literacy instruction is systematic, explicit, cumulative, and diagnostic. It is what makes her school exceptional!
