Dyslexia Courses

Put simply, dyslexia is a processing problem with language, affecting different kinds of language such as reading, writing, maths, music, speech; it affects different people in different ways. Dyslexia is much more common than most people think and affects as many as one in every eight people.

If identified early, most dyslexics quickly learn to cope well, are at no real disadvantage in life, and often find their dyslexia can become a positive asset in later years. At the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre they aim to support dyslexics through education, not just of the individuals, but by improving teaching professionals and those involved in education through a range of high impact dyslexia courses.
