I think it's a fantastic idea. You can get so much information about a trainer without having to constantly switch between the trainer list and individual homepages. Over the past few years I've noticed that parents and teachers alike Google dyslexia trainers, especially the ADA list. If there's no info, people just scroll on and pick whoever shares the most. We do it the same way, don't we? www.legasthenietrainer.com
Thank you for offering a program like this and for letting me complete it from Germany. After my translator studies and my training as a language support specialist, this is now my third certification. I can only give you all the highest praise. I have never taken such a hands-on, practice-oriented course before. It's been absolutely horizon-expanding for me too! I'm already looking forward to the time ahead and to the work both during and after the program.
The materials are very informative and presented in an interesting way. The self-study is absolutely manageable. The exam questions are tricky at times — you really have to study carefully and think for yourself! I especially like that this is an open method and that other proven materials can be incorporated. I got exactly the additional information I was looking for and needed for my work with students.
The program is so wonderful it deserves 10 stars. The literature is also at a very high level. I was able to acquire so much theoretical expertise in a short time that I'm genuinely looking forward to the practical work.
I'm very satisfied with the certification. I originally enrolled in dyslexia as my main study and then chose learning didactics as a follow-up. At the end of those two programs I decided to add dyscalculia as well. The materials are wonderfully organized. The required reading fits perfectly alongside them. If questions come up, you can always contact ADA (by phone, chat, or email) and get support. The community is helpful too! You're not on your own. A distance program isn't lonely — you just have to want it and figure out what you expect from it and what you'll make of it! Bruce Lee once said: "A teacher can show you the way, but you have to walk it yourself!" The feeling I have right now, having just passed the diploma, is indescribable!
I learned a lot and was optimally prepared for the work of a dyslexia trainer. My questions were always answered quickly. I got along well with the materials. I can only highly recommend this course. There are hardly any services for dyslexic people here in our rural region. Anyone who gets involved in this field will have plenty of demand and can open up perspectives for those affected that they otherwise wouldn't have. After finishing I started the follow-up program to become a dyscalculia trainer. That should tell you the experience was good!
Great support, quick feedback on open questions. The learning materials are well structured and easy to understand.
Easy to manage from home, even under pandemic conditions, lots of creative freedom in practice, handy materials that are easy to work through — a well-rounded package!
Doing a program alongside a job and a family is something that should be carefully considered and tested first. Despite the workload and the actual study period, there was enough room for me to dedicate myself to theory and practice. Good (self-)organization even leaves time for free time and recovery. Despite many personal setbacks that forced me to extend my study period multiple times, I never regretted starting this and "having to" stick with it. Aside from the time, which became immeasurable, I received valuable input through the portal, always found my way back into the topic quickly, and was able to complete all assignments with very pleasing results. It was extremely important for me to be able to schedule everything myself — and the dyslexia trainer certification gave me exactly that. After finishing, I got another irresistible offer to become a dyscalculia trainer. After a short hesitation, I added that straight away. The experiences were just as positive as the program before. I can only recommend this training and encourage anyone who's (still) hesitating. The materials, portals, and support options are extensive and barely need any expansion. Everything fits here. Many THANKS for that!
The study materials are very well prepared and make learning a pleasure. Rounded out by the internships you complete during the program, you quickly get into practice and are well prepared for independent learning and working. The extensive continuing education offerings constantly expand your knowledge and greatly enrich the work. The wealth of materials available to students and graduates speaks for itself, too. I would do this program again in a heartbeat and I'm happy to be able to help people with dyslexia and learning difficulties.
I admittedly took a bit longer for personal reasons, but every month was worth it. Since the program I've been teaching all my students as a better version of myself, so all my students benefit from my studies, not just the dyscalculia ones. I had a real fear of doing something wrong or not handling the diagnostics well. But that fear dissolved with the very first assessment during the program, since you get an enormous amount of help through the system and through everyone working at ADA — whether customer center, technical support, or other contacts. You're supported in every respect. Now, as a trainer, I've completed my first major assessment, worked together with the family and the school, and the child as well as the parents are doing much better and are happy. So am I. Once again, thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to study and help children with dyscalculia.
I started and completed my distance course in 2021. I was thoroughly and consistently satisfied with the service. Both the study material and the resources for support work are very good, insightful, and above all helpful and effective. My questions were answered competently right away or within a short time. I always felt well looked after. The closed Facebook group was also very helpful with its very diverse contributions, as was the professional conference. I can really recommend this distance course to anyone wanting to engage with this topic. It has expanded my horizons enormously.
I'm very happy to have completed the course and would like to take this opportunity to thank you. The program you offer is truly unique! I have at least 4 reasons to say THANK YOU, namely for: Friendly and very attentive staff who quickly answer every question; Clearly structured content; The relaxed/pressure-free timeline; And being very accommodating financially! Wishing you and your team all the best!
I completed both distance programs in quick succession. The learning, diagnostic, and therapy materials were excellent, clear, and well organized, as were the instructions for completing them. I had a few questions by email along the way, which were answered quickly and thoroughly. I'd also like to mention as very positive that if you run into financial trouble, you meet very understanding staff and they make everything possible. Because of Covid I lost my job, and my boss, who had originally wanted to finance the program, stopped after the second installment of 78.00 €. I wasn't charged any reminder fees, even though I hadn't paid for a while, because I didn't know about the cancelled payment and my boss wanted to rehire me. So I can only report positive experiences. Many thanks for that. Unfortunately, here in Saxony we have some problems with recognition for accommodations, even though dyslexia has been officially recognized for years.
I'd like to thank you most sincerely for the excellent support and guidance during my distance program! Whenever I had questions, your competent staff could always help me out promptly, and I always felt very well advised, supported, and looked after. I think this needs to be said and appreciated! Thank you for all your effort, all the best for the future, warm regards.
The four modules build on each other and are easy to work through. I gained comprehensive knowledge of the topics. The practical part you have to complete is easy to implement because all the necessary content is explained thoroughly. Support is always available when needed. I work at a primary school and regularly test children. The knowledge I gained accompanies me every day. I was and am very glad to have gone down this path :)
Great service, fast help with questions and problems. Good material. I would do it again anytime.
Excellent course! Perfect organization, great content with practical relevance, super materials, and an outstanding addition to my pedagogical work. Thanks so much!
I find ADA/the dyslexia program excellent and would like to say a heartfelt thank you.
I'm very pleased with how my program went. Smooth, transparent, high quality. My diploma is worth a lot and is recognized by employers. Great.
