    Hi @Robp1 :) Welcome to the community! It's great to have you here. I hope that you've been having an enjoyable Christmas? 

    It's fantastic that you support disabled people. Is that through employment, or volunteering? Or something else?

    My background is education and coaching. I started the Neurodiverse coaching two years ago and then began to see the need for additional support for people I work....

    Hi Rob, 

    Welcome to the Community, it would be interesting to hear more about how you are involved in the Dyslexia Support Groups and 'access to work' programs. I'm sure you must be making a big impact on the people you work with.
