Dyslexia: Myths, Misconceptions and the Truth Webinar

October 29, 2026 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

How much do we really know about dyslexia?

Join us during National Learning Disabilities and Dyslexia Awareness Month and help replace misconceptions with understanding.

Join Dyslexia Canada this October for an informative, evidence-informed workshop hosted by the Markham Public Library. Together, we’ll challenge common myths about dyslexia and replace them with a clearer understanding of how dyslexia affects reading and writing, and what effective support looks like.

Participants will learn about:

✔️ How dyslexia affects reading and writing

✔️ Why early intervention matters

✔️ What effective instruction should include

✔️ How accommodations can support access without lowering expectations

✔️ Practical questions and advocacy strategies for school meetings
