One of the best things about assessing is meeting a wide range of people and being a part of their understanding of their SpLD.  I had the pleasure of meeting Georgina a few weeks back and her attitude towards her dyslexia diagnosis and learning was so impressive I just had to share it.

“My name is Georgina, 38 years old, I am a student at Treforest University South Wales.

Through my school days I always put myself down and said I was never good enough to do anything due to my abilities, because i never had the right support in school to help me to be something or someone in life, until now. When I knew I had the opportunity to change my life around by coming to university and the help was there to support me through my studies I did not hesitate, I grabbed it with two hands.

Who ever is reading this, please do not put yourself down, take that opportunity and believe in yourself, get the help that is needed to support you through your studies. You will benefit so much and you will see a transformation in yourself.

              PLEASE DO NOT SUFFER IN SILENCE, ACT UPON IT AND DO IT. “
