5 useful facts

I've battled throughout my career as an analytical chemist. Apart from the more obvious challenges of having to triple check any data entered in manually as I do transposed numbers especially when tired, my strengths of strategic, context and connectedness meant I could see the direction that the organisation I was working for was going and how, and to a certain extent, when it would fail. Being a highly engaged employee I would engage management in order to intervene and correct course. Unfortunately those attempts were ignored or created offence where none was intended. And I seem not to learn from that as I keep believing in the good in other people however misguided that might be. And this is why I'm creating D'Nial and Sleuthdog, for those #ceos and #executives that truly want their companies and organisations to succeed I'm available to observe, evaluate and engage all levels - you'll be amazed who can have important ideas that will make your company thrive, all they need is someone who will listen to understand. #thrive #success

This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week. It is believed that around ten percent of the population are dyslexic, but it is still often poorly understood. Dyslexia is a neurological difference and can have a significant impact during education, in the workplace and in everyday life. As each person is unique, so is everyone's experience of dyslexia. It can range from mild to severe, and it can co-occur with other learning difficulties. It usually runs in families and is a life-long condition. With the right support, the strengths and talents of dyslexic people can really shine. The theme this year set by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) is ‘Uniquely You”. You are special. You are distinctive. You are exceptional. If you are unsure what dyslexia is, find out more here in this video from BDA and read about the signs of dyslexia, getting diagnosed, and how to get involved in Dyslexia Awareness Week. https://hubs.ly/Q023YGfG0 #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek #DAW23 #UniquelyYou

Trust your judgement. You know your child better than anyone and if you have concerns about dyslexia then getting an assessment is crucial.

The Journey of Diagnosing Dyslexia in the UK. ⁠ Delving into the intricate process of diagnosing dyslexia in children in the UK, a journey that involves compassion, expertise, and discovery. With early identification and tailored support, these challenges can be transformed into opportunities for growth and success.⁠ ⁠ The diagnostic process eliminates other potential causes of learning challenges, ensuring an accurate diagnosis. Learning differences can often share similar traits, making it crucial to differentiate between dyslexia and other conditions.⁠ ⁠ When a child is diagnosed, educators and parents collaborate to implement individualised interventions. These strategies, such as specialised reading programs and assistive technology, empower the child to learn in ways that suit their unique strengths.⁠ ⁠ Diagnosis can bring a mix of emotions for both the child and their family. Access to emotional support and guidance is vital to navigate this journey with resilience and positivity.⁠ ⁠ Let's come together to support each child's learning journey, one step at a time. 💙 Remember, a diagnosis is not a limitation, but a doorway to endless possibilities.⁠ ⁠ #dyslexiaawareness #educationmatters #inclusivelearning #empowereverychild"
