The 3rd Annual Adult Dyslexia Conference, funded by Learning Connections and supported by Dyslexia, Scotland and Dyslexia Scotwest, aims to clarify the strengths and weaknesses of people with dyslexia so that they can be supported appropriately.
A person with dyslexia may have differences between oral and written communication; between aural and visual perception; between short-term working memory and long-term memory. These differences are often compounded with processing difficulties, for example, poor sequencing; poor hand/eye coordination; organisation of work; processing speed. However, all these processing differences can be supported and, as a consequence, the self -esteem and productivity of the dyslexic person raised.
The conference committee has selected speakers who have the knowledge, expertise and credibility to pass on to tutors, dyslexic people and family members to provide a clearer understanding of dyslexia. We hope you find the Conference enjoyable and rewarding.
