Dyslexia is a neurological learning difference that causes unexpected difficulties with literacy and numeracy skills despite normal intelligence. It involves difficulties with reading, spelling, writing, organization, memory, and processing speed. Dyslexia is hereditary and affects people of all backgrounds. While there is no cure, coping strategies can help dyslexic individuals learn. Dyslexia is a different way of thinking and learning that also involves strengths in creativity, problem-solving, and holistic thinking. Teachers need to provide a multisensory learning environment tailored to individual student's needs.
Dysgraphia (“Dys” meaning “difficulty” and “graphia” meaning “writing”) is a neurological disorder seen in many children with fine motor or sensory-motor challenges making their handwriting unintelligible.

As a psychology student, I am passionately immersed in the fascinating exploration of the human mind and behavior. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, my academic journey revolves around unraveling the intricacies of the human psyche. Motivated by a profound interest in understanding the complexities of mental processes, emotions, and behavior, I find myself navigating the diverse landscapes of psychology with enthusiasm and dedication.
My academic pursuits have equipped me with a solid foundation in the core principles of psychology, ranging from cognitive and social psychology to abnormal and developmental psychology. Through rigorous coursework, I have developed analytical skills that enable me to critically assess theories, research methodologies, and empirical findings. My eagerness to engage with diverse perspectives has fostered a holistic understanding of psychological phenomena.
Beyond the classroom, I actively seek opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Whether through internships, research projects, or volunteering experiences, I am committed to translating academic insights into practical solutions. These endeavors have not only enriched my understanding of psychology but have also cultivated my ability to empathize and communicate effectively.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I am an advocate for mental health awareness and destigmatization. I believe in the transformative power of psychology to positively impact individuals and communities, and I aspire to contribute to the field by promoting mental well-being and fostering a greater understanding of psychological principles.
As I progress in my academic journey, I remain open to new ideas, challenges, and opportunities for growth.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Meaning?
Dys lexia
Difficult. Word.
Difficulty with words.
But it’s just not that!!!
Difficulty with reading.
Difficulty with Spelling.
Difficulty with memory.
Difficulty with numbers.
Difficulty with
time management.
Difficulty with
confidence.
3. Dyslexia is…
‘A specific learning difference which is
neurological in origin and may, for a given
level of ability, cause unexpected difficulties
in the acquisition of certain literacy and
numeracy skills.’
Some Dyslexics have outstanding creative
skills. Others have strong oral skills. They all
have strengths.
Dyslexia can occur despite normal
intellectual ability and teaching.
4. Dyslexia Affects…
All races, gender, sexuality, nationality, ages
(does not diminish with age).
No-one is exempt.
Usually more males are identified, as they
are easier to identify and recognise the signs
of Dyslexia in.
Some Dyslexics tend to develop good coping
strategies from an early age and disguise it
well.
5. Coping with Dyslexia…
No cure for Dyslexics just coping strategies/
things that help them.
Dyslexia is not just one thing, it is a combination
of difficulties and problems in many areas
including literacy (reading, writing, spelling) and
numeracy, as well as other things like
organisation, processing, memory, confidence
and coordination.
An understanding of these difficulties and
problems allows us to put effective and
appropriate support in place to help people.
6. Dyslexia is…
Dyslexia is hereditary passed on through
generations of the family.
10% of the population are Dyslexic in the UK,
4% are deemed severely Dyslexic.
4% of HE/ FE students are Dyslexic.
50% of the prison population are Dyslexic.
Each persons Dyslexia is like a thumb print ~
all different and unique to that person.
7. Problems associated with
Dyslexia…
Do not have a good short term memory.
Reading.
Writing.
Spelling.
Maths.
Confidence.
Dexterity.
Sequencing.
Visual problems.
Lateral thinking.
Self esteem/ bad attitude.
Attention span.
A confident Dyslexic will learn more than someone
with a low self esteem.
8. Dyslexia Affects…
Dyslexia is a processing problem with language. This can
affect different kinds of language such as reading, writing,
maths, music, speech etc.
Dyslexia affects the way information is processed, stored
and retrieved, with problems of memory, speed of
processing, time perception, organisation and sequencing.
Some may also have difficulty navigating a route, with left
and right and with directions.
Dyslexics don't usually process information in the same
way as other people.
Dyslexia is a different way of thinking and a different way
of learning.
9. What are Dyslexics good at…
Thinking out of the box.
Planning.
Holistic thinking.
Visual and auditory aspects.
Innovated.
Motivated by experiences.
Risk takers ~ do not mind failing.
Determined.
Focused.
Good leaders.
Good at delegating.
See patterns, connections, and similarities very easy.
Very driven, ambitious and persistent.
Capable of seeing things differently than others.
Creative and imaginative. Not following the crowd.
They are usually millionaires!!
10. Learning Styles…
“If a student cannot learn in the way we teach them,
we need to teach them in the way they learn.”
As the pathway to the memory is through
the senses, the more senses that are used
at one time, the more direct and powerful
the learning.
It helps if Dyslexics can listen to things,
visualise things, smell things, taste and
touch items. It helps them to learn better
in the style that suits them more.
Note we remember 90 % of what we read,
hear, see, say AND do. This is the most
effective way of learning for all students.
11. Fact…
The Dyslexic memory can be brilliant at mechanical
and technical construction and design.
Dyslexic mechanics have been known to look at an
engine and quickly understand how everything is
connected and easily see the best solution to a
practical problem.
Many people with learning differences are capable of
some extraordinary thinking and can be extremely
successful once they learn some coping strategies.
12. Irlen Syndrome…
Refers to a syndrome or difficulty with processing
light efficiently enough to be able to read. Also
called word blindness.
Recommended treatment is tinted lenses, coloured
overlays, coloured paper and coloured backgrounds
on the boards when going through presentations.
These colours are usually the ‘learners specific
colour’ and this is usually pastel shades – cream,
yellow, blue, green, pink, purple.
Individuals then claim it stops the visual distortion
effects and improves reading.
13. Co-Morbidity…
This is where learners have several conditions or
specific learning difficulties, so basically it is the
presence of one or more disorders.
The other SpLD’s they have are usually masked by
their primary one.
For example, a learner with Dyslexia often has
Dyspraxia but because their Dyslexic difficulties
prevail their Dyspraxic traits are masked/ hidden/
less obvious.
