Project Summary

Dyslexia (Special Learning Difficulty): It is a special learning disorder that causes the person to have problems in reading, writing and language skills despite being at normal or superior intelligence level. a student is experiencing this situation. Since these students are not fully understood by their parents or educators, they face difficulties in their education life.

Our priority is to leave the school planned to be handled within the scope of the project activities and to fight against the disadvantaged. It aims to ensure the active participation of children who have been diagnosed with dyslexia or are in the stage of diagnosis. Thus, the risk of these students leaving school early will be eliminated. The profession profiles of teachers in project partner institutions will be strengthened; Integration of disabled people into the classroom environment with their colleagues will be made at European standards.

Students who have Dyslexia problem with special learning power are faced with social exclusion because of not being understood and having difficulties in their education life. Today, it will ensure that students with special learning difficulties, which are increasingly negligible, namely the students with Dyslexia, are not excluded from the social aspects by the education and the activities to be handled within the scope of the project in order not to get away from the school climate. The profession profiles will be strengthened by the teachers carrying out different studies in this field and their adaptation in the classroom environment will be easier. With the Ltt and local activities included in our project, it is aimed to strengthen our Teacher profiles, to meet the inclusive school criteria, and to support our teachers and students in preventing early school dropout and developing basic skills and competencies by creating happy school climates that everyone feels belonging to the school. With these activities;
