Formação sobre dislexia

É já no dia 5 de Maio de 2007 (sábado). Decorre em Lisboa e pretende:


- Definir dislexia,
- Descrever as características da Síndrome Dislexia,
- Conhecer programas de intervenção.


"A Dislexia é uma incapacidade específica de aprendizagem, de etiologia neurobiológica, caracterizada por dificuldades na correcção e fluência, na leitura de palavras, nas capacidades de decifração e na ortografia. Estas dificuldades resultam de um défice fonológico inesperado em relação as capacidades cognitivas e condições educativas.
Recentemente surgiram muitos trabalhos de investigação sobre este tema, feitos por especialistas de diversas áreas, como a psicologia, educação, linguística, genética e neurologia, que tem permitido um avanço significativo no conhecimento desta perturbação, que proporcionam orientações para o diagnostico e intervenção educativa eficaz.
Para todos os profissionais que trabalham com crianças e jovens com dificuldades na leitura e ortografia e necessário saber sinalizar, identificar esta perturbação para que, o mais precocemente possível, possa ser feita uma intervenção adequada."

Esta acção terá lugar no Hospital CUF Descobertas - Parque das Nações

Há dois preços de inscrição:
Até 27/04/2007 - € 75; Após 27/04/2007 - € 100
