Dyslexia Awareness (Level 2)

This Dyslexia Awareness course aims to develop your understanding of dyslexia and offers practical guidance on how you can help individuals with this common learning difficulty.

Dyslexia is a widespread learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling.

It is estimated that up to 1 in every 10 to 20 people in the UK have some degree of dyslexia and this can easily go unnoticed and cause problems without the correct understanding and support.

Historically dyslexia has gone unnoticed or mistaken as a lack of intelligence for many individuals; often leaving them to suffer in silence.
