Answer 3

I was dx with dyslexia and dyspraxia at age 7, I am a nurse.

Answer 4

I have dyslexia which made high school years h**l, failing my final year, because I could not read. Had no qualifications to get a good job, so had to do low paid & low skilled jobs.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia, when my daughter was. So I learnt as much about dyslexia, found some tips & strategies to learn & manage it. Both my daughter and I used these to gain some qualifications and I am now a qualified Youth & Disability support worker, and I also work as qualified sessional teacher.

I have special interest in learning disabilities especially dyslexia, and use my experiences to better support students with LD's. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher, working with at risk youths who have LD's.
