Reflections on Dyslexia: Empathy and Reflection Approach
Answered

Context

The purpose of this activity is to begin, through the process of understanding and reflecting on the lived experience of individuals, and, on what has been studied so far about dyslexia. To achieve this the person first approach is introduced. The first step of this approach is to have empathy with the individual with dyslexia, to see the world through their eyes, and to understand how dyslexia has impacted on his or her life and learning. Too often we miss the perspective of the person with the lived experience. The person first approach helps us develop the desired skills to appreciate the perspective of the other and to empathize.


Empathy is a difficult step that takes time to practice, but throughout this module, we will be practicing the process to develop, through reflection, the perspective of the lived experience. Reflection is related to self and improving future practice through a retrospective analysis of action, and seeks to improve professional practice, through an understanding of the relative successes and failures of previous events.

This assessment task requires you to write a 1500 word report, using both empathy and reflection approaches. This report provides an opportunity for you to acknowledge person first methods, and documenting personal reflections.


Guiding statements that may help to facilitate the person first approach

• From your perspective, discuss how each story reaffirms and/or challenges your own views about dyslexia.


• Describe if the stories told in the video relate to your own bias, prejudice or assumptions relating to dyslexia.


• By putting yourself in the place of any one of the individuals, discuss the challenges s/he faced in different environments. This can be school, career pathways or personal circumstances


• Discuss how the reported lived experience contributes to the debate about meeting diverse learning needs of the student with dyslexia


Guiding Questions that may help to facilitate your reflection


• Consider your own practices and current involvement within education systems (e.g. teacher, support teacher, parent, allied professional such as psychologist).


• Explore potential changes to your views, and reflect on your acquired new knowledge about dyslexia


• Reflect on the value of a definition of dyslexia say what purpose you think it might serve.


• Consider how dyslexia might fit into policy and practice for effective teaching and learning


• How do you judge your ability to reflect on this topic after two modules?

Your report should be written in first person. In this activity, you will begin with the video


‘Reflections of Dyslexia’. You should allow 30 minutes to view, listen and make notes about the educational and life events that each of the adults had experienced. Use your notes to plan the format and structure of your report. Cite your sources appropriately using APA6 style.

Submit your assignment via the Assessment link in the main navigation menu in DYX 403 Dyslexia. The learning facilitator will provide feedback via the grade centre in the LMS portal. Feedback can be viewed in My Grades.
