Watch: 'Understanding Neurodiversity' talk series – Second episode on Dyslexia

Last week, Sarah Warley, founder of The Key Clinic continued her Neurodiversity series for the Dukes Club, discussing the topic of ‘Dyslexia’ alongside colleagues Katy Oatridge, Senior Neurodevelopmental Practitioner, and Anna Trundle, Supervising HCPC Registered OT. Beginning with a definition and explanation of dyslexia, Katy gave some examples of some of the benefits of being dyslexic, such as being good at problem solving and being creative. She gave examples of well-known high profile successful people with dyslexia, including Richard Branson who said he didn't think he’d be where he is without dyslexia.

Katy talked about common signs and symptoms of dyslexia and Sarah explained the links between some reflexes, for example the Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, and dyslexia, looking at the symptoms of the non-integration of these reflexes and the symptoms this would cause. Sarah discussed a case study, demonstrating how The Key Clinic's non-drug holistic treatments, focusing on hearing, for example BrightBeatz Retune, testing vision and maturing the nervous system, can significantly help improve reading and writing skills.
