This week's guest is Dr Susie Nyman. Susie is passionate about discovering how children learn and supporting them in ways which enable them to succeed and is the Curriculum Manager for Health and Social Care at The Sixth Form College Farnborough, where she has strived to raise students’ achievements and support them in a way which enables them to succeed. This episode is a lively discussion of easy-to-replicate Multi-sensory Techniques which have been developed on a shoestring, inspiring students with dyslexia to become grade risers and ultimately achieve stellar results.

Susie will discuss innovative tried and tested Multi-Sensory Techniques she has used in the classroom setting at The Sixth Form College, Farnborough as well as in Curriculum Support at The Oratory School. These are published in the latest ‘BDA Dyslexia Friendly Schools Good Practice Guide’ and ‘The Multi-sensory Toolkit’ by Oaka books.
