Topics:

• Dyslexia and how it affects students at second level.
• Dyslexia friendly school and classroom strategies.
• Specific strategies for reading, writing, organisation, spelling note-taking, memory and learning.
• Resources including subject specific resources for teachers.

She has designed and presented courses on dyslexia for teachers, parents and students since the 1990s. She is the author of the Factsheets on Dyslexia at Second Level (2014 and updated annually), Lost for Words 3 rd Ed. 2007, and co-author of Dyslexia, an Irish Perspective 2 nd Ed 2010.
