Dyslexia Simulation

with Lexicon Speech, Language & Reading

Participate in simulation activities to become better aware of the challenges faced by those with dyslexia.

Attendees at this program will participate in dyslexia simulation activities to gain insight into what is is like to be dyslexic. The activities will be guided by Certified Academic Language Therapist and Certified Dyslexia Evaluator, Diana Plattner. Diana and her business partner, Meredith Henson, operate Lexicon - a speech, language, and reading clinic in Northwest Arkansas. Their hope for this program is to promote dyslexia awareness and provide advocacy for those with dyslexia.

She is a graduate of the University of Arkansas with a background in writing, human relations, and education. Diana has been involved in literacy and dyslexia education since 2004 when she began working in a variety of roles at her Little Rock family business. Over the years, Diana has focused her passion and training on dyslexia and reading disorders and in 2013 opened the clinic in NWA before joining forces with sister, Meredith Henson, in 2016 to add speech-language services. Outside of her professional life, Diana enjoys
spending time with her husband, 2 year old son, family, and friends. She loves to travel, read, spend time outdoors, and play in Fayetteville!
