I have been teaching (primary) for a few years now and I have worked with a number of dyslexic pupils. I have a particular interest in this area as I enjoy seeing these children progress and I did a lot of research on dyslexia while working with 2 students last year.
I am looking to move out of teaching soon for a number of reasons. I am looking into leaving either at Christmas or Summer and doing a specialist dyslexia qualification. I am hoping to then become a private dyslexia assessor/tutor or work for an assessment centre, depending on the direction things go in.
Does anyone have experience of doing a specialist dyslexia qualification? Did you find it beneficial for your career? I enjoy teaching but I am not enjoying the way the state eduction system is going. I feel like this might open doors for me but would like to hear of anyone with experience of this qualification or working in this field.
