Dyslexia Safety Webinar
Dyslexia Safe Space Webinar Series
How Teachers Can Create Safe Spaces for Children with Dyslexia in Schools.
Every child deserves to learn in an environment where they feel understood, respected and safe. For children with dyslexia, the school environment can significantly influence how they see themselves as learners and how confidently they participate in the classroom.
This professional learning session will explore what dyslexia safety in schools looks like in practice and what teachers can do to create classrooms where children with dyslexia can learn without fear of shame, ridicule, constant comparison or being misunderstood.
Led by Adunola Shoge, Lead Dyslexia Coach, the session will provide practical guidance for recognising the experiences of children with dyslexia and responding in ways that support their learning, confidence and wellbeing.
Who should attend?
This session is designed for:
Teachers and classroom educators
School owners and administrators
Special education and learning support professionals
School counsellors and pastoral care teams
SENCOs and inclusion leads
Education professionals who support children with dyslexia
Parents who want to better understand what dyslexia-safe schooling should look like
Participants will gain practical insight into:
What makes a school environment safe or unsafe for a child with dyslexia
The emotional, academic and social experiences that can affect children with dyslexia in school
How teachers can create more supportive classroom environments
Everyday practices that can unintentionally shame or discourage learners with dyslexia
How to support participation, confidence and a sense of belonging
Practical ways to make classrooms more dyslexia-aware and inclusive
This is a conversation about more than academic support. It is about creating schools where children with dyslexia are able to learn, participate and thrive with dignity.
Dyslexia Safe Space is a webinar of the Dyslexia Counselling and Support Institute, created to advance safer, more supportive environments for individuals with dyslexia.
