Dyslexia Simulation & Open House, Oct 22, 2025
When: Wednesday, October 22, 2025, 5-7pm
Where: Vertical Skills Academy, 4000 S. Wadsworth Blvd, Littleton, CO
*Dyslexia Simulation: This free, 2-hour simulation exercise is open to teachers, parents, and other community members interested in better understanding what your students and/or children are experiencing. Participants will work through 5 tasks that simulate what it is like to have dyslexia/dysgraphia, as well as learn about dyslexia. We recommend participants be 11+ years old without dyslexia (however, students with dyslexia may attend in order to support the education of their loved ones). Childcare will be available. RSVP is required so we can prepare materials for all participants. RSVP to admin@VerticalSkillsAcademy.org.
