Georgia Ryan is a student and Youth Ambassador for the Dyslexia Mid North Coast in New South Wales, Australia. Georgia was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia in her last year of primary (middle) school. Since then, she has become a passionate campaigner, petitioning for the inclusion of a compulsory module on learning difficulties, for all teachers.

Nessy asked Georgia to write a blog piece about advice for teenagers with dyslexia.
Her blog talks about standardised testing and helpful technology.

‘School Days
Village schools were at the heart of rural communities. When free elementary education was introduced in the 1870s all Somerset children had the chance to learn reading, writing and arithmetic.’

We approach a time, with the largest number of children out of education in Somerset.

Polite notice: Clarks Village play area now closes at sundown (4pm).
New policy due to older unsupervised Childrens use of the zone.

We are sure this has been overlooked, on the value of this inclusion.

This post is to pre warn carers and families before planning to visit, unprepared. Families are welcome to share communication directly to the venue.

Unfortunately this means the area is also out of use for those that manage sensory regulation for any condition. They do have a sensory room available, we shared how regulation strategies vary.

The park have agreed to improve communication.
