Understanding Dyslexia: Strategies for Support is a focused course that sheds light on one of the most common learning differences – Dyslexia. This course has been carefully structured to guide learners through the essentials of Dyslexia, the science behind it, and practical support techniques.

The course explores the relationship between Dyslexia and mental health, recognising how learning difficulties can influence self-esteem, anxiety, and daily function. It also highlights how co-existing conditions like OCD can present unique challenges in special needs environments. Through this understanding, learners will develop a well-rounded view of how Dyslexia impacts children and adults across educational, social, and professional settings.

Key areas of focus include the causes and signs of Dyslexia, support strategies commonly used in SEN teaching assistant roles, and the importance of recognising OCD awareness and emotional wellbeing in healthcare and special needs frameworks. Whether supporting learning in a classroom or offering guidance in a clinical or community environment, the knowledge gained here will empower learners to provide effective, inclusive support.

The course provides relevant insights for those in healthcare, community support, and those seeking to enter SEN teaching assistant positions. Learners will gain an understanding of how to approach Dyslexia with sensitivity, using evidence-based strategies that address both learning and mental health needs.
