Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty mainly affecting reading and spelling. However, it can also cause other difficulties. A person may read and write very slowly, confuse the order of letters in words, put letters the wrong way round – such as writing “b” instead of “d” – have poor or inconsistent spelling, understand information when told verbally, but have difficulty with information that’s written down, find it hard to carry out a sequence of directions, struggle with planning and organisation, be good in speech but unable to reflect knowledge in writing, have a poor short-term memory.
This conference will provide parents with the tools to support their children and young people at school and home.
