BBC Documentary film on Dyslexia
I was honoured to be asked to assess Kara Tointon for dyslexia as part of the BBC3 film documentary. The programme gave – and still does give- a wonderful insight into dyslexia, illuminated by Kara’s honesty and openness about her difficulties. It has since been shown many times on BBC1.
