We are having a coffee morning on the 25th September for parents/carers of children and young people with dyslexia. Please join us to chat to local parents and specialist teachers about how to support your child or young person. From 9 to 11am.
Working memory is the capacity to store information in an individual’s temporary memory in order to perform a task involving multiple sequences and steps of operation. Many people with dyslexia also have working memory difficulties.
This session is for you if you're a parent wondering why your bright child is struggling to keep up, or if you've heard about working memory but don't fully understand it and want real solutions, not just theory.
You'll learn what working memory is, why it matters, and how to spot the early signs. Paloma will share practical, proven strategies to reduce overwhelm and provide effective support, with time included for live Q&A.
Hosted by Paloma Forde, Special Needs Educator and Founder of Dyslexia Support Services.
With 30 years of SEN experience, Paloma has helped hundreds of educators and parents across the globe understand and support children with weak working memory.
