The Training

What is this training?

This stimulating and intensive one-day workshop offers an opportunity to practice newly acquired skills and techniques in a safe, non-discriminatory and ultimately refreshing environment.

If you are interested in developing practical understanding of the Dyslexia Aware therapeutic techniques and devices –  this is the route for you.

What you’ll be getting?

One-day Intensive Workshop

By popular request, this day full of highly experiential skills training, role play, case studies and live supervision demonstrations puts into practice the theory gained in preceding workshops.

This environment is non-clinical, relaxed and harmonious and encourages Dyslexic professionals to ‘be themselves’ in the best possible way. It is not only about skills training but about replenishment, community and self-knowledge.

We will cover in a practical sense content such as philosophy, coaching strategies, role-playing, mindfulness, psycho-education, discussion, presentations, supervision and much more.

I'm writing to thank you very much for the workshop, the content and manner of delivery were top notch. I learned a great deal, and it was set in such a relaxed atmosphere, and lovely surroundings too!..what more can one ask for.

“

Superseded my expectations - I came away with a far deeper understanding of the cost of dyslexia, and an enhanced awareness of what needs to be thought about

“

Really enjoyable workshop in all its dimensions i.e. environment, teaching, learning from other people's experiences.

“

One of the best courses I have been on. To be with like-minded people helped free me from the critic within.

“

Excellent all round - very enriching and exhilarating, developing greater confidence in myself.

Pennie Aston's untold knowledge requires greater recognition in the field of dyslexia - Congratulations GroOops.

Amazing experience - 2 days where I have felt safe with everyone.

The course helped me to have a framework on how to go about assessing and understanding the needs of the client and how to respond to those needs in the way that works for the client.
