For the past fourteen years I have  been working privately focusing on people with dyslexia and related learning  issues. For the past nine of those years I have also been assessing people with  learning difficulties.  \nI find my work fascinating and particularly enjoy exploring ways to make learning more accessible  to people who think differently. I encourage people to work with their strengths\, rather than  focusing on their difficulties.
