Tory candidate says people with learning disabilities should be paid less as ‘they don’t understand money’
I have 3 “learning disabilities,” yet I’m predicted A*s on my A-levels in maths, further maths & physics. I have an A in AS economics.
So, no, I shouldn’t be paid less!

We prefer ‘identify’ rather than the word ‘diagnose’ and move away from this overtly deficit concept of natural human variations of intelligence - having said that - all too often it takes school failure, learner anxiety before we adapt for the child-Why?

For a parent of a child with dyslexia, the struggle to provide for their child's academic needs can be exhausting. They may have to fight for an IEP, accommodations, and to have their child's struggles fully understood. But it's worth it! #Dyslexia #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth #ADHD

When you are the parent of a child with dyslexia, it may feel like you always need to be doing more. You feel like you need to work harder for accommodations, modifications, and understanding for your child's academic struggles. It's important to schedule self-care. #Dyslexia

I’m a Prof with dyslexia and dyspraxia. Aside from my research in regenerative pharmacology. I have a project to make teaching @imperialcollege accessible for students with dyslexia and dyspraxia. #dyspraxiaAwarenessWeek #dyslexiaawarenessweek
#DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek is coordinated by @DYSPRAXIAFDTN and begins TODAY!
This year the campaign will focus on Further and Higher Education and Dyspraxia in Adulthood. Are you a student or adult with #dyspraxia? What are your tips for those new to their diagnosis?
