Stephanie
Occupational Therapist
HCPC Registered Occupational Therapist | MOccTh Occupational Therapy | Lived experience of dyslexia
Hello! I’m Stephanie, also known as the Dyslexic OT. I was diagnosed with dyslexia at 31, after growing up in the UK education system as an undiagnosed child.
I understand first-hand what it’s like to struggle through school and higher education. It wasn’t until a colleague noticed issues in my report writing that I began to realise something deeper was going on.
Throughout my life, I worked twice as hard to keep up. Writing, organisation, and processing information took far more effort than it seemed to for others, even though I was capable and motivated. Like many dyslexic adults, I carried self-doubt while appearing competent on the outside.
My diagnosis was a real “aha” moment that helped me make sense of my strengths and challenges.
As an adult, I’ve had to advocate for my needs, and I’ve seen how much more support dyslexic adults still require. I’m also a parent to two dyslexic children, and dyslexia runs in my family, giving me a deep, lived understanding of the challenges dyslexic people face at school, at work, and in daily life.
As an occupational therapist with a Masters of Occupational Therapy degree, I know how well OT skills align with supporting dyslexic adults. Through both my personal journey and professional training, I’ve learned that dyslexia isn’t a limitation, it simply needs the right strategies.
