Why I created Dyslexic OT

Dyslexic OT grew from both my professional experience and my own experience of dyslexia.

I know the challenges are not always obvious to other people, and someone can appear to be coping while putting in a huge amount of effort behind the scenes. As a parent of dyslexic children, I also understand how difficult it can be to navigate support, education and transitions.

I wanted to create a service that looks beyond reading and writing and helps people understand what is making everyday life feel harder.

Why Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy looks at the relationship between the person, their environment and the things they need or want to do.

For someone with dyslexia, that may mean looking at organisation, routines, workload, processing information, confidence and energy. The aim is to understand what is getting in the way and find practical changes that fit the individual.
