About Me:
I am a dyslexic dyslexia teacher. I used to be a musician a looooong time ago but I gave it up to go back to school. Moved to Scotland a couple years ago and now have my own dyslexia consultancy, "Dyslexia Pathways".

Have you been assessed as being dyslexic:
Yes I think I must be the most assessed person in history. I was assessed by an educationsl pshchologist at uni. Then an occupational psychologist when I applied for Access to Work funds. Then when I was taking my dyslexia teaching diploma I was used time and again, quite willingly, as a test subject for other teachers on my course.
Are you working or at college etc
I am setting up my own business right now. I am hoping to set up a dyslexia focused social enterprise that will deliver dyslexia services to adults here in Fife. I also want to set up a social firm run by dyslexics. I have no applied to become a Community Interest Company.

I also have got a contract to supply dyslex… Continue

A good day

Today I have been working at Edinburgh University training students how to use assistive technology. Felt good to be teaching again and with none of the paper work hassles that teachers have.

My new website is going very well I have completed a few more pages and now looking to expand it with a couple more pages.

working hard

I completed the tender for the Scottish governent dyslexia awarness traiing contract. Now all I have to do is wait and see how it goes. I really don't expect to win this but going through the tender process was a great experience and I will get feed back on how I did as well. This will make completing my next tender easier.

I have more training soon on a course that will enable me to deliver an accredited dyslexia training course for professionals working with dyslexics. I can't wait for this t… Continue

going ok

Things are all going pretty well still. I have a meeting with my web site developers this Friday and I am hoping to have a few web pages up and running in a couple of weeks.

Made a decision not to go down the setting up a charity route and will be setting up a Community Interest Company instead.

Last week I was sent an invitation to tender for a government to deliver dyslexia awareness training to government departments. Ok its only a small contract but its for three years. I have high hopes f… Continue

It's great to know there's a place to talk about dyslexia. Sometimes it feel like I'm the only dyslexic out there. Thanks for making the site:D

Thanks Stephen for your note.
Glad to be part of this group. Can't say I am happy to be dyslexic, but I'm OK with it.. Just happy to have been diagnosed and not being labeled. Thanks, Joan
