A dyslexia simulation was recently held at Fort Worth ISD's Leadership Academy. The event, hosted by Literacy Roundup, aimed to show parents and educators what a school day can be like for students with dyslexia. One participant, Jonae Walker-Ferrell, a Fort Worth ISD mom, gained insight into her son's experiences after he was diagnosed with dyslexia at the end of third grade.

Walker-Ferrell is planning to apologize to her son for not understanding his struggles earlier. The simulation involved tasks such as reading unfamiliar symbols and following instructions. Further details about the simulation and its impact on participants are available from the source.

The event took place on July 14 and was attended by parents, educators, and Fort Worth leaders.
