Feedback #05: Championing Dyslexia Support

Welcome back to another editorial episode of FEEDBACK!

 

Our members and communities would like us to have a focus on Dyslexia ahead of Dyslexia awareness month in October and we are more than happy to oblige with Tips, Talks and a helpful guide that can be used to find assessment facilities here in the UK for diagnosing individuals who may have Dyslexia

 

Please look forward to our upcoming interviews with staff with lived experiences - until then please check out the following links highlighted during this conversation
