Dyslexia in the Classroom

This dyslexia training, delivered by Kate Grimes, Psychologist from Inspire Therapy, provides a comprehensive overview of how dyslexia is identified, supported, and effectively managed within educational settings. The session explores the diagnostic process, including the different way dyslexia can present and things to consider when putting interventions in place.

A strong emphasis is placed on the importance of early identification and intervention, highlighting how timely, evidence-based support can significantly improve reading outcomes, confidence, and long-term academic success. The training also addresses common misconceptions and helps educators recognise early indicators of dyslexia.

In addition, the session focuses on creating inclusive classroom environments. Practical strategies are provided to support differentiation, assignment completion, assessments and promote access to learning. Teachers are provided with information on intervention practices, and fostering a supportive, strengths-based classroom culture that enables all learners to thrive.
