Support
for Children with Dyslexia in Latvia
Projekts Atbalsts bērniem ar disleksiju
English Camps implemented the project Support for Children with Dyslexia in Latvia funded by the
Baltic American Partnership Program . We did this because
the general public has little
knowledge of this problem and information about dyslexia and services in the schools
tend to be scattered and difficult to access.
The overall objectives of the project were
to help identify and provide better
services for children with dyslexia, give support to parents and help the
general public understand this problem.
To do this we:
- Started a parent support group. This helps parents of children with dyslexia understand the problem and learn to work with the system so that their children get the most benefit from it;
- Researched the current situation in Latvia and internationally and wrote a report on what we learned about the system as it is and made recommendations for how it can be improved ;
- Made an informative booklet and a website
to inform teachers, school administrators, parents
and the general public about this problem. We will also provided information in a series of seminars held throughout Latvia.
We have started parents’ and experts’ workgroups to work on these objectives.
We welcome participation from teachers, reading teachers, parents, children and others. Please contact us for
further information or to see if
you can help in the
continuation of this work.
We continue to work on these
problems. For more and deeper
