The Antigua & Barbuda Centre for Dyslexia Awareness (ABCDA) conducted a Post Graduate Certificate Course in Dyslexia and Literacy that started in May 2003 and was made possible by an Organization of American States (OAS) grant. The year-long distance learning course is being facilitated by the Dyslexia Institute of the UK and is validated by the University of York in the UK. The grant provides scholarships for 16 teachers in Antigua to participate. This course is the first step in reaching our goal of having one teacher per school who is trained to work specifically with children that have learning difficulties and/or dyslexic tendencies. Contact information about ABCDA is available on the members page and more information about the organization will be posted to the site soon. |
