The Dyslexia Information Evening for parents of junior and senior schools in #gloucestershire
5th JUNE     CHELTENHAM BOURNSIDE SCHOOL was a success.
 
Dr Georgia Niolaki and Dr Aris Terzopoulos joined us to inform and answer questions from parents and carers about dyslexia and how to support your child. They could also give insight into the two research projects GDA is participating in with Bath University to find good working methods in schools to support dyslexic learners.
 
Wendy Hawkins who is an assessor and tutor also was able to answer questions from parents about how to co operate with schools and what is involved in an assessment. Our Chair Claire Penketh talked about her experience discovering she was a dyslexic and  the journey to help her son with his dyslexia.
 

PRESENTATION OF PROJECT 8TH JUNE, 7PM

 

We are delighted to invite you to a presentation about our recent pilot project in local schools, providing information to teachers and teaching assistants about spotting and supporting dyslexic pupils.

 

The presentation will be on June 8th, 7pm at Rodborough Community Hall, Butterrow West, Stroud, GL5 3TZ.  There is plenty of parking on site.

 

The school project was led by one of the GDA’s accredited tutors, Dr Georgia Niolaki, Senior Lecturer SpLD/Dyslexia and Inclusion at Bath Spa University and her colleague Dr. Aris Terzopoulos, Lecturer in Psychology, Birmingham City University. Three of our board members Lucy, Wendy and Ingvild, also went to the schools to provide help during the sessions.

 

The project was funded by Bath Spa University.

 

There will be an opportunity for a question and answer session about the project, and light refreshments will be available. It will be a good chance for us all to catch up and exchange ideas about what the GDA could do in the future. There will also be a small amount of second-hand dyslexia resources to buy.

 

Please RSVP us to info@gloucestershiredyslexia.org.uk , so that we can get an idea of the numbers.

 

We’re looking forward to seeing you!

 

Kind regards,

 

GDA Board of Directors
