CONSULTANCY SERVICES

I have a history of providing consultancy services for a range of organisations, both in the private sector and the public sector.

Services include: –

• Advice on how to make websites and other resources “dyslexia friendly”.
• Advice of how to engage with staff with dyslexia.
• Advice on how to ensure that recruitment and employment processes are sensitive to the needs of potential and existing staff.
• Advice on how to support people with dyslexia into the workforce.
• Advice on how to ensure that workplaces are sensitive to the needs of neurodiverse people – along with other people of diversity.
• Support for apprentices having difficulties passing text-based registration exams.

Clients include: –

• The Tertiary Education Commission in New Zealand
• The Corrections Service in New Zealand
• The Ministry of Social Development in New Zealand.
• The Human Resources Institute of New Zealand
• The New Zealand Defence Forces
• Literacy Aotearoa.
• Individual Polytechnics and other tertiary education providers
• Public sector organisations like the Plumbers. Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board and the Electrical Workers Registration Board.

Often the biggest challenge for both public and private sector organisations is a long legacy of poor understanding of just what dyslexia is – and how it impacts on people’s lives.  Most importantly, most people are unaware of the many positive features of dyslexia.
