My Professional Experience of Dyslexia
I have been a Dyslexia Coach for the past 25 years and I’ve coached children, young people, college and university students and adults to overcome dyslexia difficulties and achieve more in education and/or in life. I have also coached countless numbers of parents of ‘dyslexic’ children so that they are better able to support their children to overcome dyslexia difficulties. In addition, I have also coached a range of dyslexia professionals to use my approach to dyslexia support.
The dyslexia coaching that I deliver is informed by my doctoral study on dyslexia which I undertook at the University of Birmingham, UK. As part of my doctoral study, I developed an alternative perspective on dyslexia to support dyslexic students to reconceptulise the cause of dyslexia to stem from external factors and not from their biological makeup. I also developed and tested dyslexia coaching intervention to support Further and Higher Education students to externalise dyslexia and overcome their dyslexia difficulties.
