Description
British Dyslexia Association with Helen Goodsall Helen is the Knowledge & Information Manager at the British Dyslexia Association, an experienced workplace assessor and a parent of dyslexic children. She joins us to discuss the theme for Dyslexia Awareness week ‘Breaking through barriers’ which looks at how those living with dyslexia can overcome obstacles in their lives, this could be during education, work or general day-to-day living. 1 in 10 of the population has dyslexia, a processing disorder, but with the right support and reasonable adjustments barriers to education and employment can be removed. The campaign seeks to reframe the language and stigma attached to the condition, which simply put is a different way of learning. In the conversation Helen shares with us ways society can ensure that no one is left behind due to their learning differences. If you are experiencing any issues discussed in this podcast please contact your GP or healthcare practitioner.
