​Celebrate dyslexia awareness week in style

​Dyslexia Awareness Week comes round once a year, and most of us mark it with a LinkedIn post.

​This year, spend it in a room full of dyslexic adults instead.

---

​What you get

​A room that gets it. Connect with a dyslexia community. You’ll hear what’s working for other dyslexic adults, share what works for you, and leave with ideas about how to grow with your dyslexia rather than around it.

​A 30 minute talk on the framework from Dyslexia Unlocked, published by Bloomsbury:

• ​Creating Confidence. Unpicking what school left behind, and accepting a brain that works differently.
• ​Building Systems. Simple systems that work with how you think rather than against it.
• ​Unlocking Strengths. Working out what your dyslexic strengths actually are, and how to explain them to other people.

​Your questions answered. Fifteen minutes, open floor, ask me anything.

​Time to stay. Books, signing, and the people you’ve just met.

​Who it’s for

​Dyslexic adults, diagnosed or not. Partners, friends, family and colleagues welcome too.

---

​Getting there

​Two minutes from Goodge Street. Step-free and fully wheelchair accessible at street level, with accessible toilets on the same floor. Slides use large, clear type, and nobody will be asked to read anything aloud.

​About Natalie

​I’m Natalie Brooks, founder of Dyslexia in Adults and author of Dyslexia Unlocked, published by Bloomsbury. I’ve spent seven years working with dyslexic adults, from one-to-one coaching through to teams at Microsoft, BCG and the UK Civil Service.

​I’m dyslexic and ADHD myself, and I spent years assuming everyone else had been handed a manual I’d missed. There isn’t one. So I wrote it.
