Dyslexia — Around the Edges

When most people think of dyslexia, they think of reading, writing, and spelling difficulties. But for many dyslexic individuals, the real challenges — and strengths — lie around the edges of these academic tasks. From poor time management, clumsiness, and daydreaming to a powerful sense of justice, perfectionism, or exceptional creativity, dyslexia affects far more than literacy skills.

In this webinar, dyslexia specialist Richard Whitehead will explore the lesser-known traits of dyslexia, drawing on Ronald D. Davis’s 37 Common Characteristics of Dyslexia. We’ll look at how these traits arise, why they can vary so much from day to day, and how they all stem from the same underlying cause: disorientation.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or adult navigating your own dyslexia, this session will help you see the bigger picture — and open the door to deeper understanding and more effective support.

👉 Suitable for parents, educators, SEN professionals, and dyslexic teens and adults.
