All-European Dyslexia Conference in Sweden

Dr Mark Tuner and Julie Cozens will be presenting at the 4th All-European Dyslexia Conference on 20-22 of September 2013 in Växjö, Sweden.

Mark and Julie will be talking about the importance of good leadership in the planning and delivery of Dyslexia services in schools.

Understanding and responding to dyslexia is crucial for all schools today. Parents, colleagues and managers need informed advice they can trust, and support they can rely upon.

Dyslexia qualifications exist in the UK that primarily focus on individual and small group teaching (for example British Dyslexia Association accredited Approved Teacher Status and Post Graduate Diplomas). The UK Government has trained more of this type of dyslexia professional following the publication of the influential report by Rose (2009).

Mark and Julie will propose that there is also a need for a new type of dyslexia professional The focus would be on intervention for individuals, for groups and at school level and across clusters of schools. Training would specifically cater for professionals wishing to exercise leadership.
