A special teacher training program to help dyslexics--people who have a handicap that affects their reading--will be held July 13 to 24 at Orange Coast College.
The program is for credentialed teachers and is being sponsored by the Orange County branch of the Orton Dyslexia Society.
The training program includes all materials needed, and persons completing the course can earn three units of credit from the University of Wisconsin. The cost of the program is $330, and it is limited to 20 persons.
