In conversation with Michelle Catterson about dyslexia.

Between 4 and 5% of the general population is dyslexic with the ratio of men to women being 3:1. It’s often seen as a problem with reading and writing, but it also affects memory, organisation and expression. Often, dyslexia is spoken about in problematic terms and I wanted to talk to someone who could help us reframe that.

Today I am joined by Michelle Catterson. Michelle is a board trustee of the British Dyslexia Association and headteacher of an independent dyslexia specialist school in Surrey.
