A Special Discussion Evening
Come along
and join in the discussion, or just listen to others’
problems, successes and comments. There will be a panel
to lead discussions and answer questions, consisting of
a head teacher of a dyslexia friendly school, a dyslexic
adult, the parent of a dyslexic schoolchild, a teenager
and a trained helpliner. This is your chance to find
out what worries other parents, teachers, pupils & adult
dyslexics are experiencing, have the myths dispelled and
discover the best way to tackle all aspects of dyslexic
problems. This is also a chance to get dyslexia in
perspective, realising the strengths of dyslexic people
and the opportunities available to them. Older children
very welcome, to share experiences with the teenager on
our panel.
Thursday 26th April at 7.45pm
Dyslexia: Working Backwards by
Dr David McLoughlin
David has
long been one of the giants in the dyslexia world, being
immensely knowledgeable and respected by all. He works
with both adults and children, and he strongly feels
that seeing the impact dyslexia has had upon adults
should always influence the way everyone works with
dyslexic children – hence ‘working backwards’. He will
be talking about issues across the whole life span that
can result from being dyslexic.
5th July
“Self-Esteem”, preceded by
our famous super-speedy AGM.
27th September

Coffee mornings
We have received funding from the Co-operative
Community Membership Fund to hold a series of Coffee
Mornings for parents and carers. Do come along and
enjoy a cuppa and a piece of homemade cake whilst
finding out more about dyslexia in a relaxed,
friendly environment. There will be a short talk in
each session on different areas affected by dyslexia
, followed by a time to share ideas and resources
and to chat to those who have similar concerns.
Members of the Dyslexia Association will be on hand
to answer questions and discuss individual issues.
You are welcome to bring your pre-school children,
and we will be providing an arts and craft table for
them. However, we are unable to provide a crèche,
but are quite happy for babies to remain in your
care. Due to the funding, these events will be
free, and please do just drop in – there is no
booking required.

Have you been to any of our
meetings?
We have had excellent feedback
about our open meetings. We are told how much parents, teachers and
even the few children who come along, enjoy the informative talks.
Equally valued is the informal time afterwards, over a relaxing
coffee or tea. This is the time to swap stories and get not only
mutual support, but access to a range of professionals too. Many a
problem has been sorted out at this time.
Do you have any ideas for future
speakers? Would you like a different sort of meeting? And what
time of day and day of the week would you like it to be?
We would love to hear from you
all! This is YOUR association. Please do make use of it.
