Round up of Lambeth and Wandsworth Roadshow for Parents
Monday 17 February 2020
Our Roadshow for Parents was once again out and about reaching parents and carers of dyslexic children.
The room was packed with parents from across the area but all with the same story about the lack of support for their children and the enormous barriers that they experience with accessing any support in education.
The British Dyslexia Association were delighted to be able to also share with them our publication Empowered Parents that brings together this vital information drawn from our Roadshow speakers.
Our line up at this event was a little different this time and we were delighted to welcome one of our Ambassadors Leighton Denny MBE, who has very generously sponsored our Empowered Parents publication and gave up his time to join us at the Roadshow.
Leighton’s story, that he tells with great humour and humanity, is truly inspirational. His experiences are so relatable for many dyslexic individuals. For the parents and carers of dyslexic children he offers hope that with determination and parental support the talents of dyslexia can be unlocked. Leighton views his dyslexia as a gift that has enabled him to achieve huge success in the cosmetics industry. He truly is an ambassador not just for the British Dyslexia Association but also for dyslexia.
Please help us to support our Roadshows for Parents by donating. Without your support we cannot reach those who need our support the most.
