This event provides four hours of professional development.  We also offer a virtual registration fee of $20, which includes the keynote speaker and a live stream of two breakout sessions. The virtual session provides three hours of professional development.

At the VCU Dyslexia Symposium, we believe that knowledge should be accessible to all. That's why we offer VCU students the opportunity to attend for FREE. And, students from other colleges or universities can also benefit from a discounted registration fee.
