For Dyslexia Awareness Week Cloveni Balolo has shared with us her thoughts about her diagnosis of dyslexia.

‘I struggled throughout school, this made me anxious.

At college I was diagnosed with dyslexia. My struggles were acknowledged and I received support, I no longer felt that I wasn’t clever. My confidence improved and so did my sense of self-worth.

I am frustrated that I was not diagnosed earlier. Push through, believe in yourself and self-advocate’.
