Rosie Bissett, CEO of Dyslexia Association of Ireland

From overcoming challenges in school to discovering her strengths, Rosie sheds light on the realities of living with dyslexia and how it can shape a person’s path.

Rosie talks about the critical role of early identification, the right supports, and how important it is to empower individuals with dyslexia. She also discusses the systemic challenges faced, including delays in diagnosis, the complexities of exam accommodations, and the slowness of change in the Irish education system, particularly within government and civil service sectors.

- Why it’s okay to be dyslexic and how to embrace your unique strengths.
