The Dyslexia Guild Annual Conference will be held on June 29-June 30, 2016 at the University of Hertfordshire. This conference is open to those who have a professional interest in dyslexia and SpLD. We invite specialist teachers, SENCos, learning support staff and teaching assistants. We also welcome educational psychologists, speech therapists, as well as band 4 NMH specialists working one-to-one and provided study skills support (SpLD).
I think this would be a good article to have on a website dealing with Dyslexia. It is technically selling something but that something is a conference where people with Dyslexia or that have it themselves can commune with specialists, therapists, psychologists and more. I liked the article, it was bright and informative while being concise.
Our informative conference will begin on Wednesday, June 29 with an exciting afternoon international conference. There will be presentations from our European partners including Dr David Gerlach from the University of Marburg, preceded by our Keynote speakers: Regis Professor of History Emeritus – Professor Robert Evans and Dr Lynne Duncan from the University of Dundee. On Thursday, June 30 you will be welcomed by our wonderful Dyslexia Action staff, meet researchers and exhibitors and enjoy a delicious networking lunch. Our keynote speakers Professor Julia Carroll and Dr Jessie Ricketts will present current aspects of Language Development and Reading. You will hear about the newest research and greatly benefit from taking the time to learn debate and reflect on cutting-edge practice. We are looking forward to seeing you at this exciting conference!

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
