I have a great announcement to make! On April 29th, 2017, I will be holding a Dyslexia Awareness Fair. The goal of this event is to help inform the public about dyslexia. We will also be having several booths with games that will promote knowledge about dyslexia and we will be doing free dyslexia screening! I am very excited about this event because we will be able help others who may be unaware of such a wide-spread problem.
During the week, I spent my time making flyers and meeting up with my mentors to discuss the details of the event. We also finalized our scaling system for the questionnaire. This was a BIG milestone in our project because now we were able to accurately analyze our collected data! And as we had concluded earlier, our data proved that our questionnaire was able to pick up dyslexia in a child.
Hope to see you all at the fair!
Until next time,
Ritika Gupta:)
Wow, this is really cool! The fair sounds like a great idea! Also, great job analyzing all the data and drawing those conclusions, really exciting! One question, when you say you'll be offering free dyslexia screening, will you be doing this using the questionnaire you created, or in some different way?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vijeeth! We gave the parents our questionnaire when they walked in. After they filled it out, I would take them back into a room, where Becky would run through another screening test with them.
ReplyDeleteNice flyers and great job organizing the fair!!! Who is it targeted for; children, parents, doctors or all? It sounds like fun!
