Masking dyslexia – hidden struggles

Hosted by Dyslexia Sparks

Dyslexia doesn't always look the way we expect. Many individuals develop strong coping strategies and manage to hide their reading and writing difficulties behind compensatory skills. This often leads to late identification, misdiagnosis, and a lack of appropriate support.

Join us for an eye-opening webinar exploring masking dyslexia, where we’ll uncover the signs and long-term impacts of undetected dyslexia.

What you’ll learn:

• What “masking” dyslexia means and why it happens
• Common characteristics of masked dyslexia in children and adults
• How masking differs across age groups
• The academic and emotional toll of late identification
• Tools and strategies for early recognition and intervention

Whether you're an educator, adult or parent, this session will help you better understand how dyslexia can be hidden, and what can be done to offer support.

There will be a live Q&A at the end of the presentation, where you can ask any further questions.

Can’t join us live?
Don’t worry – a recording will be sent to all registered attendees after the session.

Places are free but limited and must be booked in advance. Online link will be sent upon registration.
