Celebrating Dyslexia -Identifying Strengths, Building Confidence and Boosting Self Esteem by Claire Harvey, Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity

Talk Description:

Dyslexia is often discussed in terms of challenges, but it also brings many unique strengths. This talk explores the positive attributes commonly associated with dyslexia and how recognising these strengths can help to build confidence and maintain healthy self-esteem.

This talk will briefly touch on some of the challenges dyslexic learners may face with aspects of learning and why they may be at risk of low confidence and self-esteem. But most importantly, this talk will explore a more strength-based understanding of dyslexia, where dyslexic strengths and skills are celebrated and can be used to support learning. It will also offer some practical strategies for building confidence and boosting self-esteem.

Claire Harvey has worked at the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity since 2017. As Head of Education at the charity, she is responsible for the consistently high quality of educational content on dyslexia. The Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity has a reputation in the sector as the ‘gold standard’ provider of training on dyslexia.

Claire is involved with numerous events and training opportunities, including specialist teacher and specialist assessor training courses, in-service presentations to schools and parent workshops to share best practice, top tips, useful teaching strategies and resources.
