About this listen
In this enlightening episode of Dyslexia Unbound@Armstrong, we delve into the transformative power of art in the education and support of students with dyslexia. Hosted at the Charles Armstrong School, a beacon for dyslexic learners in grades 2 through 8 on the West Coast, we explore innovative teaching methods with art teachers Nata Amador and Christie Martinez. They share their unique approaches to harnessing art as a medium to amplify the strengths and talents of dyslexic students, fostering a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. From leveraging the visual-spatial strengths of dyslexic learners in sculpture and ceramics to encouraging self-expression and identity exploration through art, this episode offers invaluable insights for families and educators alike. Join us as we uncover the role of art in creating a safe space for students to express themselves, take risks, and build confidence, ultimately changing the trajectory of their lives.
