An overview of Dyslexia at home and at school with Amanda Keen.

Is your child struggling, but you can't quite put your finger on why?Dyslexia is so much more than just trouble with reading — it affects how children process information, express themselves and navigate both school and home life. Yet, it often goes unrecognised or misunderstood.If you're suspecting that your child might be dyslexic or perhaps you have already secured a diagnosis, you likely have loads of questions about how to help them and what support might be available. On 5 June 2025, we are going to be joined by Dyslexia consultant Amanda Keen to understand all of that and more.

Having qualified as a teacher in 1995, Amanda spent 17 years teaching across the whole of the primary age range (Early Years to Year 6). She then attained specialist teacher and assessor status for children with dyslexia in 2012 and became an Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA).Since this time she has worked in Learning Support departments in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, supporting children with specific difficulties in both literacy and numeracy.In 2018 Amanda gained her Post Graduate Certificate in Dyscalculia with Distinction and was granted an Assessment Practising Certificate and Approved Teacher Status Dyscalculia. This qualifies her as one of the first specialist teacher assessors for children with dyscalculia in the country. Having Level 7 qualifications in both dyslexia and dyscalculia is seen as the "gold standard" for assessing dyscalculia (Peter Jarrett, Chair of the British Dyslexia Association's Dyscalculia and Maths Difficulties Committee).
