This reference guide aims to provide teachers and trainers in the FE sector with an understanding of the potential impact of dyslexia on learning and how to better support learners to achieve their full potential. It focuses on dyslexia and related conditions from a neurodiversity perspective, including how staff can make the most of an individual’s strengths and positive characteristics that may be associated with their neurodiverse condition. The resource explores the signs, symptoms, behaviours and provides top tips for adapting communication, teaching strategies and environment to enable learners to thrive.

The guide also signposts to a wide range of resources and CPD training to help staff to increase their knowledge and confidence to embed skills effectively into the support they provide.
