About Dyslexia
People with dyslexia think and learn differently from others. They sometimes feel as if their mind is 'differently wired'.
Dyslexic people find it particularly difficult to learn to read, write and/or spell, even though their abilities in other ways may be average or better. They usually also have an unusual pattern of strengths and weaknesses in other areas.
There is no cure for dyslexia but with the right teaching and support, dyslexics can overcome their difficulties and achieve great things.

Great to hear Jo Malone on BBC Radio 2 this morning talking about her dyslexia. Jo thinks that dyslexia has given her the tools for creating her amazing sense of smell and the ability to draw on memories to create her renouned fragrances.
Just a reminder that we will be closed for the festive period from 12pm on Thursday, 22 December until 9:00am on Tuesday, 3 January. We hope you all have a great Christmas.
