Whilst dyslexia does often have common traits, it’s important to note that it is a spectrum condition and therefore each person is different and will experience dyslexia differently. Some pupils seem to ‘mask’ their difficulties well, whilst others may show their frustration openly and disengage from learning and school and may lose self-confidence.
If some of these issues sound familiar, then contact me to discuss whether dyslexia could be a factor for your child.
