A dyslexia simulation event was held at Pine-Richland High School to help parents understand the challenges faced by their children with dyslexia.
Hailey Levin, a parent of a dyslexic child, participated in the event and found it to be an eye-opening experience, describing it as "almost heartbreaking" to see what her daughter goes through.
The event, organized by the Pennsylvania branch of the International Dyslexia Association, aimed to simulate the difficulties faced by students with dyslexia in a classroom setting.
Dyslexia is a learning impairment that causes problems with reading, writing, and spelling, but it is not a reflection of a person's intelligence.
The event was held in October, which is Dyslexia Awareness Month, and was attended by about two dozen people, mostly parents.
