GRAVE MATTERS DISCUSSION SERIES:
Death Across Borders/Death Across Cultures
Decoding Dyslexia presentation April 14
Decoding Dyslexia-Co-
lumbia Gorge presents an-
other free event, “Rise
Above Learning Differ-
ences with Assistive Tech-
nologies: Identifying, Un-
derstanding, and Imple-
menting Assistive Technol-
ogy in the Classroom and
Home,” with Mathieu
Jazbinschek, Technology
Instructional Coach of
Evergreen School District.
The presentation will be
held on Tuesday, April 14
with registration at 6 p.m.
and the presentation run-
ning from 6:30-8 p.m. at the
Hood River Hotel. Educa-
tors are able to earn 2 PDU
credits from Lewis & Clark
College.
Assistive technology is
available to help individu-
als with many types of dis-
abilities — from cognitive
problems to physical im-
pairment. This presenta-
tion will focus specifically
on assistive technology for
individuals with learning
differences. The use of tech-
nology to enhance learning
is an effective approach for
many children. Additional-
ly, students with learning
differences, such as dyslex-
ia, often experience greater
success when they are al-
lowed to use their abilities
(strengths) to work around
their disabilities (chal-
lenges). Assistive technolo-
gy tools combine the best of
both of these practices.
Assistive Technology can
address many types of
learning difficulties. A stu-
dent who has difficulty
writing can compose a
school report by dictating it
and having it converted to

text by special software. A
child who struggles with
math can use a hand-held
calculator to keep score
while playing a game with a
friend. And a teenager with
dyslexia may benefit from
assistive technology that
will read aloud his employ-
er’s online training manual.
There are assistive technol-
ogy tools to help students
who struggle with listening,
math, organization, memo-
ry, reading and writing.

Ideas and practices re-
garding death and dying can
vary from culture to culture,
even from region to region.
Because of that, we would
like to spark a discussion
about how people face cultur-
al differences tied to death
and dying when they move to
another locale. These differ-
ences often go beyond funer-
ary practices, and can in-
clude how the elderly and
people with illness are cared
for in a society or a commu-
nity, how people grieve, how
families are organized and
structured.
We invite you to come
share your experiences at
the Hood River Library on
Monday, April 20, at 5:30 p.m.
