Your Brain, Your Way: Thriving with Dyslexia as a Teen
Teenagers with dyslexia often face increased academic pressure, emotional challenges, and a growing need for independence—all while navigating environments that may not fully understand how they learn best. This course is designed to offer structured, strengths-based support for dyslexic teens at home, in school, and beyond. It provides tools to help families build routines that reduce stress at home, develop effective study habits, and advocate for necessary support in school or further education.
It also explores how to manage social situations in public places where reading or processing may cause anxiety, and how to support healthy, confident use of social media. With a focus on self-belief, practical strategy, and emotional resilience, this course empowers teens with dyslexia to thrive in every area of their lives.
At Home: Building Confidence and Daily Routines
The home environment plays a vital role in helping teenagers with dyslexia feel supported and capable. This module provides parents and carers with tools to create positive, structured routines around homework, reading, and emotional regulation. It also focuses on building your teen’s confidence through encouragement, practical communication strategies, and manageable goals that reduce frustration and foster independence in daily tasks.
At School: Navigating Learning and Advocacy
For dyslexic teens, the school environment can be both a challenge and an opportunity. This module equips students and their families with strategies to access the right support, from requesting reasonable adjustments and using assistive technology to building study habits that work for the dyslexic brain. We’ll also explore how to advocate confidently and create open lines of communication with teachers, helping students feel empowered and understood in the classroom.
In Further Education: Preparing for Independence and Success
As teens transition into college, sixth form, or vocational study, they face new levels of independence and academic pressure. This module prepares students for that next step by teaching them how to access support services, manage workloads, and stay organised. Whether it’s navigating a university’s disability office or understanding how to self-advocate, we help teens enter further education with clarity, resilience, and a toolkit for success.
In Public Places: Managing Everyday Literacy Demands
Public settings like shops, transport, or community spaces can bring unexpected reading challenges for dyslexic teens. This module offers practical strategies to help them manage signage, forms, and social expectations confidently. We also focus on reducing anxiety and supporting independence in real-world situations, so teens feel more prepared and less overwhelmed when out and about.
On Social Media: Building Safe and Positive Online Experiences
Social media is central to teenage life—but for those with dyslexia, it can bring added pressure. This module explores how reading, writing, and social interaction play out online, and how to manage them in a way that protects self-esteem. Teens and parents will learn how to set healthy boundaries, avoid negative self-comparison, and build digital communication habits that reflect their strengths and protect their wellbeing.
