MEET ME

Hi, I’m Beth.  Seven years ago, when I discovered my son had dyslexia, I had a ‘light-bulb’ moment and understood this explained many of my own difficulties. Ever since, I’ve been on a mission to discover the best ways to wrestle what I like to call the ‘dyslexia octopus’.

I look forward to getting to know you.  Please comment on a blog post and sign up to my email list for exclusive material.

My ‘dyslexia octopus’ blog uncovers some lesser-known aspects of dyslexia, such as the health and social challenges.

I’m here to give you tips and ideas on how best to wrestle your child’s or your own ‘dyslexia octopus’.

Why an octopus?

When I researched the wider effects of dyslexia, I was surprised to discover it effected much more than reading and spelling.

The potential areas of difficulty include:

  • Motor control
  • Listening
  • Reading
  • Spelling
  • Writing
  • Memory
  • Spatial and direction
  • Social and health

At any given time, one of these octopus arms can grab or trip up someone who has dyslexia
