Dyslexia Smart North offers training and guidance on dyslexia and neurodiversity to the workplace, to individuals, and to parents and carers.

​

Workplace Training -Sessions delivered to the workplace aim to develop knowledge and understanding of dyslexia and neurodivergence and how individuals can thrive in the work environment. Sessions aim to debunk the misconceptions and provide insight and awareness. More than one in ten employees will be dyslexic or neurodivergent and having support in the workplace is essential. The session also covers how integral the skills of those employees are to businesses, such as the recognition by GCHQ of pattern recognition, creative problem solving, attention to detail, and seeing the bigger picture, as well as thinking outside the box. My work as a senior disability adviser at a Russel Group University means that I have a thorough knowledge of the Equality Act 2010 and how companies can best comply with this law.

​

Training for Individuals - Sessions can also be tailored to individual employees who are dyslexic or neurodivergent and would like to look at strategies to support them in their job role. This can also be useful when a particular job role has changed and new challenges are introduced which can be particularly stressful.

​

Parents and carers can arrange sessions on understanding and developing their awareness of the impacts of dyslexia, specific learning difficulties and/ or ADHD in order to support their child through their education.

​

Revision and Study Skills - these sessions are aimed at children and young adults who would like study skills support and strategies for preparing for exams or important assignments.
