1 in 5 students report being bullied—and that number doubles for students with intellectual disabilities. The rise of digital platforms has made bullying more pervasive, isolating & harder to escape. We can’t stand by. We must take action: brnw.ch/21wQKGf #ChooseToInclude

Respect. Kindness. Inclusion. It starts with YOU. If you see someone being treated unfairly, check in with them. Speak up to remind others that differences make us stronger & everyone deserves respect. Keep learning & growing with our trainings section: brnw.ch/21wQmYj

🚨 Attention, educators! 🚨 Identifying signs of dyslexia early is crucial for effective intervention. Look out for: difficulties with phonemic awareness, struggles with word recognition, poor spelling, and slow reading fluency. Early detection means timely support! #Dyslexia

🌟 RETWEET: Spread awareness! 🌟 Dyslexia affects 1 in 5 people, backed by 25+ years of research from the National Institutes of Health and Yale University studies. Let's ensure everyone understands the impact and supports those with dyslexia. #DyslexiaAwareness

Dyslexia isn't just about reading difficulties; it's a neurobiological challenge affecting word recognition, spelling, and decoding. With effective classroom instruction, we can help all students succeed. 💙 #Dyslexia

Let's debunk a common misconception: Dyslexia isn't about how people see words. It's not a vision problem. Instead, it's about processing language sounds. Individuals may struggle with directionality and word recall, but with support, they can thrive! #DyslexiaAwareness
