I am dyslexic. I am also a teacher. I have been interested in dyslexia and other SLDs since I was diagnosed in my third year of my undergraduate degree. Generally when I read something about dyslexia now, I find little that I didn't already know. This was different however. A very interesting and informative unit. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from it. Thank you to the O.U. for making it available for free.
