#75 Five decades of Dyslexia provision devlopment in Scotland with Moira Thomson, MBE part 1

In this episode, we have a special guest. Moira Thomson, who got an MBE from the Queen, the sovereign of the UK – Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, for her service to children and families with dyslexia for the last 50 years, was a huge contributor to Scotland dyslexia in more ways than I can imagine. Moira graduated from Edinburgh University before doing a post-grad diploma at Oxford. In this episode, she talked about how dyslexia’s perspective changed throughout the decades.
