My name is Ceri Baker. I have lived and worked with dyslexic learners for the last 18 years in many capacities, as a dyslexia specialist, assessor, tutor, sibling, daughter, wife and mother.
I am passionate about supporting dyslexic learners and helping them to find their voice. Our world of the written word still rules and although access through voice activated technologies is creating a much more of a level playing field for some dyslexic learners, it is not currently accessible to all. So, for now I am acting as the dictation software for a student whose voice needs to be heard.
This blog is inspired by one of my students and it is for him. Finn (not his real name) is 15 years old and so severely dyslexic that he can read and write very little, yet he has a gift for spoken words which may be envied by many writers his age and older. He has agreed to this blog and I'm sure he would welcome any feedback (although I will of course have to read it to him). Enjoy.
I will post once a week after his lessons, it won't be much, but definitely worth a read, gives me goose bumps!
