I have many years teaching experience in a range of settings. For over 10 years I have specialised in Specific Learning Difficulties, gaining specialist dyslexia teaching and assessment qualifications and AMBDA accreditation in 2012. Following this I was seconded as a Senior Lecturer to Edge Hill University to work on a Specialist Dyslexia Programme for teachers. After setting up Literacy Solutions, I continued to work with Edge Hill on the Dyslexia Programme and offering training for Continuing Professional Development for Educational Professionals in a range of areas including dyslexia and dyscalculia and I currently work with Chester University on the MA Dyslexia Programme offering specialist dyslexia training for teachers and other professionals. Since gaining APC status in 2013 I have carried out diagnostic assessments for Disabled Student Allowance (DSA).I am also qualified to screen for visual stress. In 2015 I was awarded AMBDA FE/ HE to support my work in the assessment and support of adults. I am currently working towards setting up a PATOSS local group to enable networking with like minded professionals.
