Collaboration between researchers and education professionals

Dyslexia, a learning disorder that affects reading, writing and spelling, requires an integrated approach involving both researchers and education professionals.

This session explores the importance of collaboration between these two groups, highlighting how working together can improve the understanding, identification and tackling of dyslexia.

Knowledge Sharing

Effective collaboration between researchers and education professionals begins with knowledge sharing. Researchers can provide up-to-date information on the latest research in neuroscience, genetics and pedagogy related to dyslexia. On the other hand, education professionals offer valuable perspectives based on their practical experience, highlighting classroom situations and the individual needs of students.

Dyslexia is a constantly evolving field, and continuing education is essential for education professionals to stay abreast of the latest research. Researchers can play a crucial role by providing seminars, workshops and training resources that equip educators with the tools they need to recognize and effectively address dyslexia in the classroom.

Developing Practical Tools: Turning Research into Educational Practice

Successful collaboration goes beyond theory; it involves translating research into practical tools and strategies that can be applied in the educational environment. Researchers and educators can work together to develop teaching resources, intervention guides and assistive technologies that reflect best practices backed by scientific evidence. Early identification and intervention are fundamental in addressing dyslexia. Collaboration between researchers and education professionals can improve assessment processes, enabling earlier and more targeted intervention strategies. Research can inform new assessment tools and pedagogical techniques that optimize the development of reading skills in students with dyslexia.
