Edinburgh Napier University: With my research, I’m aiming to explore how primary teachers’ understanding of dyslexia affects their confidence in accurately identifying its potential manifestations based on their experience. Additionally, I want to examine whether occupational stress levels play a role in this decision-making process I am looking for Scottish Primary School teachers to take part in this study. Which would involve answering a short survey on their understanding of Development Dyslexia, their experience of occupational stress, as well as their confidence in their ability to accurately spot Dyslexia manifestations within the classroom. To complete this questionnaire should take participants no longer than 15 minutes. By taking part, you could help me to advocate for better access to dyslexia training courses for teachers as well as shed light onto the experiences of occupational stress within primary teachers.

A survey involving secondary students with dyslexia studying Latin or a modern foreign language – by Dora Burbank
Research in the academic field of Latin and dyslexia is sparse, often outdated, and largely consists of teachers’ informal observations, thus lacking empirical evidence. This mixed-methods study aims to address a gap in the literature, exploring the experiences of secondary students with dyslexia learning Latin, French, or Spanish while examining the relationships between dyslexia and examination results in those languages.
The influence and impacts of dyslexia on social work practice – by Sam Hepburn
The role of a social worker is complex and dynamic, working in environments that can be equally challenging. The role involves working with and supporting individuals, families and communities. Therefore, the interventions required are wide ranging and involve many skills such as assessment, reading and writing. All these skills can be impacted by dyslexia. This study explores the impacts and influence that dyslexia has on social work practice from the experiences of those with a dyslexia identification.
