Event Description
*This session is online! Do not worry if you can not watch live on the night – still book and we will send you the recording later in the week.*
Dyslexia Awareness Week may be over, but support for dyslexic adults continues all year round.
Join Katrina Cochrane from Positive Dyslexia for this practical online Spotlight session exploring the support available to adults with dyslexia in the workplace.
Katrina will look at adult dyslexia assessments, workplace needs assessments, applying for Access to Work, and useful free resources that can provide ongoing help and guidance.
The session will also consider what happens when, as an adult, you begin to recognise similar difficulties in your child, with signposting to appropriate sources of information and support.
Whether you have a dyslexia diagnosis, are considering an assessment, or simply want to understand what support is available, this session is a great place to start.
