Day 4 - what have you achieved inspite of dyslexia?
Literacy skill and academic qualfications are only part of a persons ability and potential... I have worked with so many dyslexic adults who don’t feel like they are successful because of their spelling ability! SUCCESS COMES IN SO MANY FORMS Today I invite you to list and celebrate as many successes as you can think of, these don't need to be academic qualification, (altough they absolutely can be included) it might be, raising your family, fundraising, completing a personal chllenge, learning a new skill, having the courage to try something new, or simply doing something you feel proud of! Nothing is too small! Most importantly don’t dismiss something if it came easily to you or because you think anyone could do it... anyone is not you!!!! It is time to stop worrying about the cannots and beggin to focus on the CANS Share your list under the day 4 thread!

One of my biggest successes is that I am the lead volunteer for equality, diversity and inclusion at Girlguiding UK. Which I was not going to apply for until my best friend told me too. I have been in post 2 years already and Jo has built my confidence and I am thriving in the role now.

So achievement I have a BA in learning difficulty and disability which I got in 2007 after my official diagnosis in 2003. I became a Girlguiding trainer in 2016 /2017 I changed job to become a b4 OT/PT practitioner in 2022 after working in education as a PSA. I have been advocating for my daughter this year at university as she was set up to fail (not happening under my watch). She is now in year three of adult nursing. And today at work I have encouraged my patients to achieve there goals with physical and occupational therapy. My achievement for tonight is to get some sleep.

Day 2 - Where do your beliefs or understanding about dyslexia come from?
What a wonderful way to start my day! Love that so many of you were able to join me! The task for today is below... but there is a PDF next to this for anyone who wants to do it that way. Your task today: Take a few minutes to reflect on one belief you hold about yourself as a dyslexic person. Where did that belief come from? Is it actually true, or is something you have found easier to believe? If you feel able please do share in the comments. If you want to push yourself I would love for you to start questioning that belief.

I still have this belief at times that I will never be as good as my peers because it was drummed into me at school that a was stupid. Not at the age of 50 that belief is slowly being replaced with I am not stupid and I am great at what I do but sometimes when something new comes along I doubt my self.
