What Is Dyslexia And What Are The Symptoms?

Dyslexia is one of the most common learning difficulties - and as a parent it can feel very overwhelming if you suspect or know your child has it.

With the help of the British Dyslexia Association ( we explain:

00:20 - What dyslexia is
01:27 - Signs of dyslexia
02:48 - Identifying and testing for dyslexia
04:04 - How dyslexia is dealt with by schools, teachers and requesting EHCPs
05:25 - Emotional wellbeing of dyslexic children
06:23 - Ways to help a dyslexic child

#Dyslexia has no bearing on intelligence - it is just a set of weaknesses in how you learn.

With thanks to Helen Boden from the British Dyslexia Association and John Hicks.
