Research shows that instructional approaches that are structured, explicit, and multisensory are the most effective for teaching students with dyslexia. Teachers who undergo multisensory structured language education (MSLE) training consistently report that it is one of the most valuable professional development activities they have ever participated in.

The NCBIDA is proud to offer partial scholarships for qualified MSLE teacher trainings this summer. See below for upcoming classes. For more information click on the links:
