Hello, I’m Grace. I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 8 and received an adult diagnosis at 20, when I was also diagnosed with dyspraxia. I have recently qualified as a primary school teacher and work in a really supportive school. However, starting something new and entering the profession has brought a whole new set of challenges and has knocked my confidence. I want to better understand my dyslexia, learn to embrace it and proudly own who I am, so that I can become the best version of myself, both for me and for the children I teach.

Welcome new members. I am beyond excited for you to be here in our community to enjoy the first ever free and live 5 day dyslexia mentoring experiement. I truly cannot wait to get started. This has historically been a community for my mentoring clients to support each other and connect between calls with me. I have opened it up to you as it felt like a good place to host the 5 day Dyslexia Rees-set. The Rees-set does not officially begin until Nov 2nd. 6:30 am I will be live in here, introducing the frist resource and task. In the meantime I have created a short questionare for you to comeplte to help you think about your individual start point for the rees-set. Once you have done this, please feel free to intorduce yourself in the Dyslexia rees-set discussion below. Depending on how many people join, I may well drop a bonus task or two before the official rees-set begins. For now I cant wait to meet you Jo X Task 1 - compelte the survey below task 2 - introduce yourself. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSemBqpzsMIPeBuYX4RZXpnZUfpg6glBkI9vwB6VV2PDGgdOIw/viewform?usp=publish-editor

Abit about me 37 diagnosed with dyslexia in my later years in high school as you can imagine by then my confidence was on the floor and ive spent my hole life avoiding jobs,situations and may other things trying to hide my dyslexia, ive very very recently taken a new job which completely brings my dyslexia front and center working in reservations and well im in full blown panic about it with a million and one thoughts which I won't get into right now but im looking forward to speaking to people with dyslexia and having that level of understanding from other on here

So I thought I would be brave and share. I am still working on strengths...but while pondering this I came up with idea of sharing 31 images of how I feel about all the aspects of my dyslexia for dyslexia awareness month, a mix of all the negatives but also the positives.

Hi I am Gemma, I have only been working with Jo for past few months, trying to find peace with my dyslexia.
