Welcome to my most popular webinar talking all things Working Memory!
If you are a parent and or educator and continuously worry about your child's working memory ability, then this session is for you.  With over 25 years of special educational needs experience, I am the GO TO expert who will be able to offer you a wide range of tips, strategies and advice when it comes to supporting students/your child who has a weak working memory. 

In this LIVE event, I will be covering the following:

My name is Paloma Forde, the founder of Dyslexia Support Services. I am an educator, consultant, author and an international speaker. I have working in the field of SEN for 27 years and have worked across all Key Stages in the education sector.
My whole passion now is to pass on my knowledge to others in the hope that we can together make an inclusive world for those children/students who continually struggle in the education system.
Did you know that around 45% of students with dyslexia will often have a weak working memory? This means that they are likely to be overloaded in class and miss out on large chunks of learning.
