Dyslexia! What does it mean?

We had the pleasure of interviewing Ariana Peters from Elwood Primary School.

Her role there is the Teaching and Literacy coach and support. She had been instrumental in setting up a Dyslexia support program for both the child and the parents of. She is a wealth of knowledge in this area and explains positive pathways of diagnosis and how to support your child if they have Dyslexia.

Ariana generously shared resources to help support parents be their child's advocate.
