I have spent a lot of time working with a lot of students revising for exams. Blimey I remember my own experience of exams and not much of the memories are positive. On my degree my course work grades were As and high B grades but my exams were C grades if I was lucky. I really worked hard at revision...if only I had me teaching me back then what I now know today about being a dyslexic doing exam revision lol.
I met with one student who I have worked with a couple of times before. Last time we met I had suggested she try using mind maps to help her with revising. The student came for their dyslexia support today and showed me her revision mind maps. They were a peice of art work in their own right. Great use of imagery and colour on a large piece of art paper. Fantastic stuff..........
I had another student who has only been assessed as being dyslexic a few months ago. He is still trying to come to terms with it and how it has impacted on his life in the past and today. He is one of the reasons why I believe all dyslexia specialists should all be trained counsellors. He has a lot of self erected barriers to break down as well as issues with his confidence and self esteem. Had a great session with him that day though.
For some time I have been thinking about writing a book on dyslexia based on my own experiences as a dyslexic trying to survive in a non dyslexic world. I have been writing bits and pieces here and there but lacked focus for a book. Today I have been trying to think of a book title which, I hope, will enable me to focus on writing this book.
I am hoping to find new directors for Dyslexia Pathways. If I am to take Dyslexia Pathways any further as a business I need to have others on board who have the time, expertise and commitment to enable me to take Dyslexia Pathways CIC further.
