Dyslexia Awareness Month 2020

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, so we’re taking the opportunity to look at how children with dyslexia have been coping - particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order have disrupted school and learning for a large part of the year. We speak to an educational psychologist about the difficulties faced by dyslexic students during the pandemic, and some possible ways of coping.
