This informative 2-hour course has been designed for parents and carers who want to develop their knowledge and understanding of dyslexia.

During the session we will look at the difficulties a child with dyslexia may face. You will be introduced to a range of uncomplicated strategies designed to be introduced at home to help you help your child to enjoy learning, develop new skills and succeed.

By the end of this session, you will have:

• Knowledge and understanding about dyslexia.
• An understanding of a range of the tools and techniques available to parents wanting to support their child at home.

Karen was appointed as a Specialist Leader in Education for Autism and this allowed her to disseminate good practice and deliver SEND training. She offers various condition specific training, including ASC, ADHD and Dyslexia.

Karen has continued her personal professional development over the years: she has a Masters Degree in Education and Level 2 Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism and PDA qualifications. She is currently working towards her Doctorate in Education.
