Well it's Friday to and the weather is wet and manky outside. Had a very positive meeting with the Goodison Group and Scotlands Futures Forum. Must have been well over 100 people there all told. I am never very comfortable meetings like this where there are Lord and Ladies, Directors from large companies and organisations etc. But there were also other teachers, educationalists and I met a number of nice people. I am really just a teacher and I started Dyslexia Pathways so that I could keep using my dyslexia specialist and teaching skills and because I couldn't find any teaching work in a college as a dyslexia teacher. I will go into the meeting in more detail once I get it.

Have o say there was a great luncheon after the event so I got a free lunch from my troubles lol

I have been getting little hints from contacts that it is getting increasing harder to gain funding for disability learning support. The amount of paper work and proof required is getting greater and greater. I have even heard chatter that sudents claiming Students Disabled Allowance may even have to borrow money to pay for hardware such as a laptop etc. If this is so it will make it much tougher for disabled students to succeed at university or even go to university. This is not happening this year but maybe in the next two years.
