Liz Our summer course at De Montfort University (Leicester) entitled 'Dyslexia in FE & HE' is exactly what you need. This year it will be run over 6 days: July 5th - 7th and then 12th - 14th. Accommodation will be available. I will email you more information off-forum.

I need to know what teaching students with SpLD involves, but I don't need to be qualified to teach myself. There must be quite a few people like me who want more in-depth study of what SpLD / dyslexia is, its effects, how it is identified, the support needed and so on, but who do not have a teaching background and neither want nor need to teach students. I arrange for tutors to do that role. I come from a more social work / counselling background and have a postgraduate qualification (which includes some psychology) in that field. I'd like a course at that level really. Regards Liz
