Overcoming Learning Barriers: Understanding Irlen Syndrome and Dyslexia

Join us for an informative session on Irlen Syndrome and Dyslexia, hosted by Read Write Now and presented by Jo Starke from the Dyslexia & Irlen Clinic WA.

In this interactive session, Jo will explore the differences and overlaps between Irlen Syndrome and dyslexia, explain how adult dyslexia is diagnosed, and highlight what to look out for—from common symptoms and behaviours to subtle signs that may indicate a learning challenge. She will also share practical guidance on recognising these signs, referring for assessment, and using strategies to overcome learning barriers.

Learn how to support yourself or others and unlock full learning potential.

Who can join: Adult learners, anyone curious about learning challenges, educators, or support workers.
