New website launches to connect families, schools and dyslexia specialists across Hull and East Yorkshire
A message from our founder, Julia Smith…
I am delighted to announce the launch of the new website for the HEY Dyslexia Association, a new initiative designed to make it easier for families, schools and individuals to connect with local dyslexia specialists.
As a qualified dyslexia specialist working in the local region, I’ve seen how important it is for individuals to receive the right support at the right time, and how challenging it can be for parents and schools to navigate the different options available.
My vision for the association is to make finding specialist dyslexia support simpler, more accessible and more personal. Every individual, family and school has different needs, and I believe people should have the opportunity to make informed choices about the support that is right for them.
As a region, we are very lucky to have a number of self-employed dyslexia specialists working hard to provide specialist services for individuals and families experiencing dyslexia; the HEY Dyslexia Association aims to connect these talented specialists with people who would benefit from their services.
The new website includes a directory of local specialist dyslexia assessors and teachers, helping families and schools discover the expertise available across Hull and East Yorkshire. The directory is intended to provide a useful starting point for those seeking dyslexia assessments, specialist teaching or further information about the support available in their area.
Alongside improving access to specialist support, I also wanted to create a network where dyslexia professionals could connect with one another, share knowledge and experiences, and promote good practice. By bringing local expertise together, I hope the association will help strengthen professional relationships and contribute to better outcomes for individuals with dyslexia in our region.
Although the launch of the website is an important first step, my longer-term ambition is to develop a supportive local community that benefits professionals, families, schools and the wider public.
I’m excited to see the association grow and hope the website will become a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand dyslexia, explore assessment and teaching options, or find specialist support locally.
I invite parents, schools, professionals and anyone with an interest in dyslexia to visit the new website and discover more about the HEY Dyslexia Association and its members.
