Expertise is not. While potentially 1 in 5 children\u00a0are affected by dyslexia, not enough educators have the specialized training to help them thrive. But with the right tools, dedicated professionals and caretakers can develop the skills to support all learners. Our online dyslexia certificate provides our students with applicable, evidence-based skills in just one year.<\/p>\n<p>The UF online graduate dyslexia certificate is open to anyone with a bachelor&#8217;s degree. Participants are often practicing teachers in general and special education. However, speech-language pathologists, school psychologists, counselors, caregivers and more will also benefit from the dyslexia certificate program.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to take the next step? <a href=\"https:\/\/education.ufl.edu\/special-education\/prospective-students\/dyslexia-graduate-certificate\/application\/\">Apply today!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/education.ufl.edu\/special-education\/files\/2024\/07\/Accreditation-Seal-Plus.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;International Dyslexia Association Accredited Plus Program&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Accreditation Seal Plus&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;35%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;26%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;35%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|32px|||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;display:inline-block;&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/education.ufl.edu\/special-education\/files\/2024\/07\/VA-Badge.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Certification approved for veteran benefits badge&#8221; title_text=&#8221;VA-Badge&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;display: inline-block;&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;6b79e799-72d2-4d85-9a07-2770605fa7f1&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Program Highlights<\/h2>\n<p>The UF online graduate dyslexia certificate is a 15-credit program.
