It's almost like we don't want to dismiss their dyslexic or don't worry about that. Really yeah, and I want them to embrace their dyslexia. But I think it's allowing them to embrace or acknowledge the fact that they're dyslexic, but not for them just to be dyslexic, for them to be everything else as well and anything else that they want to be.
Imagine a world where dyslexia isn't seen as a hurdle but as a unique way of thinking. In this engaging episode of 'The Therapeutic Poet', host Jacky Power sits down with Michelle Catterson, the executive head at Moonhall schools in Surrey and a trustee of the dyslexia association. Michelle brings her wealth of experience to the table, discussing the often misunderstood nature of dyslexia and how it affects children's education.
Michelle shares touching stories from her time at Moonhall, a school dedicated to teaching children with dyslexia. She dives into the challenges these kids face in traditional educational settings and how Moonhall’s tailored approach makes a world of difference. The conversation also touches on Michelle’s advocacy work with parliamentary groups, pushing for systemic changes to better support dyslexic students. But this episode isn't just about the hurdles. It's about seeing the child beyond the condition and recognizing their potential.
Michelle and Jacky explore how embracing dyslexia can empower children to thrive in various aspects of life. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or someone living with dyslexia, this episode offers valuable insights and hope. Join Jacky and Michelle for a heartfelt discussion that aims to shift perspectives and encourage a more inclusive approach to education. It's an episode filled with empathy, understanding, and a touch of poetic wisdom.
