As lots of new and returning students get into the swing of studies this week and next, next week's Awareness campaign is very timely. @univofstandrews will be on the case for sure, thru colleagues in Student Support.

Here's a snapshot of what SLDN/members have done and delivered since launch. Click for an overview of the events, papers, connections and contributions. We're also keen to hear how we could add value to the activities, projects or ideas of others in the coming year or so.
New paper out which captures the lived experience of Specific Learning Difficulties. UK-focused but likely to have commonalities across countries:journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/27…

Look who’s our keynote speaker at our Education Conference! We’re thrilled to announce @HamzaYassin3 will close the day with an inspirational talk. Bookings now open. dyslexiascotland.org.uk/news/hamza-yas…

There’s still time to join our virtual one-day course! Whether you're a parent, teacher, or professional, this is your chance to deepen your understanding of dyslexia, discover practical and inclusive teaching strategies, and learn how to offer support at home. 📅 Wednesday 11th…
Maybe too late for #NationalNumeracyDay but if there's someone out there fits the bill could be possible contact for future #dyscalculia press stories.

TES has published an overview of conclusions from SLDN's cross-sectoral 'Research into practice' event. It links to @silParacchini 's longer report on our webpage. tinyurl.com/5m7kffd9
Deserved 'horn toot' to SLDN's co-chair Prof Silvia Paracchini @silParacchini on her forthcoming inaugural lecture in St Andrews, which is open to the public:
Good feedback and interesting next steps from @cwilliams_edu of @AlexParkRS a speaker at our recent 'Translating research into Practice' event:
Congrats to Cathy Manning: New paper: What Are the Research Priorities for the Dyslexia Community in the UK and How Do They Align With Previous Research Funding? doi.org/10.1002/dys.70… #dyslexia
Sounds like a great idea, and potentially useful for all learners, not just people with dyslexia.

HUGELY useful and insightful day 5 Mar with colleagues from all corners of the SLD and ed-tech sectors working on how to engage, connect, share and optimise what we're all working on. Let's keep these interactions going, build cohesion, and help shape policy.
'What do toddlers really know?' Sounds like a great PhD topic opening at Ulster Uni. We would LOVE to know!

Did you know we offer a variety of recorded webinars on a wide range of topics, all available to watch for free on our YouTube channel. Watch here: bit.ly/43Yo3a3 #Dyslexia #FreeWebinars #DyslexiaSupport #DyslexiaAwareness
Seems like #DyscalculiaDay got good profile in important places yesterday. We're a little late, but sincere in our support of it, and happy to see this new project:
Please share w SpLD parents/carers: Research project on education experiences of children from Forces backgrounds w ALSN asks parents/carers to take 15 min survey on their experiences, regardless of any Forces link. Survey: t.ly/EeVXU Info: t.ly/uDZfI
Handy graphics - would look good and be useful as posters.
Great to see @DyslexiaScotland's report getting good coverage and traction. A truly meaningful action in Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland.
