The dyslexia story is not all bad news. There is definitely a silver lining. Dyslexia often bestows on those who have it a range of remarkable talents and skills. These come under the collective name of Positive Dyslexia.
MIKE STYLES, LITERACY, NUMERACY AND DYSLEXIA SPECIALIST
I am a Dyslexia and Neurodiversity Consultant, Researcher and Practitioner in New Zealand. I have been involved in the world of adult literacy and numeracy provision since 2001.
Calling All People Who Think They May Have Dyslexia and/or Their Families & Loved Ones
Sadly, even in 2023 people with dyslexia still hide in the shadows and many do not completely understand their condition. Even sadder, neither the media, the politicians or nor government agencies do much to support dyslexic/neurodiverse people.
Dyslexia needs to be made more visible.
I would like to screen you to identify or confirm your dyslexia for free – in return for the chance to tell your story. I would like to include your name – but if you prefer, I could keep the story nameless.
Please contact me on this website if this offer interests you. You can rest assured that I would treat your individual story with the utmost respect.
