In this podcast episode, Donna Stevenson, Head of Training and Assessment at Success With Dyslexia (SWD), reflects on the evolving perception of dyslexia over the past 30 years. Highlighting changes since the 1990s, when dyslexia was not well-understood, Donna discusses the current shift in how companies view neurodiversity. Contrasting the limited teacher training on specific learning difficulties in the past, Donna emphasizes the growing awareness and acceptance of dyslexia in education and workplaces. Drawing from her extensive experience at the British Dyslexia Association (BDA), she shares insights into supporting both children and adults with dyslexia. Donna underscores the importance of sharing lived experiences to enhance understanding and foster success with dyslexia. Join her in exploring the transformation of dyslexia perceptions and her mission at SWD to provide global support through training and assessment.
