October is Dyslexia Awareness Month and the European Dyslexia Association has declared 8th October as Dyslexia Day. The focus of Dyslexia Awareness Month, this year, is #TrustYourInstincts. If you suspect that your child, a child in your class, or indeed yourself, may have dyslexia trust your instincts. Talk to the school, talk to other parents, talk to someone with dyslexia. Reach out to the Dyslexia Association of Ireland (01 877 6001) for information and advice on assessment and supports.

Don’t forget your local Dyslexia Workshop in Kilkenny. If you have any concerns please contact us my email: kilkennydyslexiaworkshop@gmail.com or contact Susan (0560) 7768941 or Pauline (086) 8202500 and they will give you support and advice.
