The Hampstead Dyslexia Clinic presents an interactive workshop tailored for both primary and secondary educators to help understand the complex difficulties of dyslexic learners, reimagine the classroom with creative teaching methods and ultimately increase accessibility for all learners in class.

Engage and empower student thinking, not just deliver information.
