Our guest this month in our Dyslexic event series is Arran Smith who will talk to us about dyslexia and the world of technology. 

Arran is a dyslexic entrepreneur who was diagnosed with severe dyslexia at the age 9, along with other tendencies of neurodiverse conditions. For many years Arran used the metaphor that dyslexia was like going to the dentist, and that the feeling of stress and anxiety was there at that young age. 

With support from his parents, the Leicestershire Dyslexia Association and several teachers, Arran realised and understood his dyslexia, learning about both his difficulties and his strengths. He has a great insight in what is feels like to be dyslexic and how is assistive technology can support and help create independent learners
