Subject Choices

Subject Choices

Choosing subjects can be exciting and challenging for students with dyslexia.

This video helps staff understand how dyslexia may influence subject choices, and how to support students in making decisions that reflect their strengths.

By challenging myths and offering practical strategies, we can help every student reach their potential.
