Understanding the mental health of dyslexic children is crucial for their overall well-being. This presentation will begin with a brief overview of dyslexia and its impact on children. Recognising the early signs of mental health issues is essential, and these can manifest in various ways, such as behavioural changes like withdrawal or irritability, academic struggles, and emotional indicators such as anxiety or low self-esteem. When these signs are noticed, it is important to respond promptly by creating a supportive home environment and working effectively with your child's school. Preparing for conversations with teachers and staff involves gathering relevant information and setting clear goals. During these discussions, it is important to communicate effectively and collaboratively develop an action plan that includes necessary accommodations and support services. The presentation will conclude with Q&A session to address any questions or concerns.
