I think neurodiverse profiles are still very much misunderstood. People seem to think that dyslexia means you can’t read, dyscalculia means you can't count, and dyspraxia means you can’t… keep your balance? But having a neurodiverse profile is far more than that...

Here at Diverse Learners, we do our best to raise awareness of dyslexia and dyspraxia every day. This blog ends a week of tweetchats, tweets, Facebook posts and videos to do our bit for Dyslexia Awareness week ending on Sunday, the 8th of Oct 2017.

Michelle is a specialist study-skills tutor and mentor at Diverse Learners, where we send our student nurses who need support with drug calculations. She is also a retired midwife and founder of UniSkills, where this blog was first posted.
