Lois Hood – Helpline for adults and secondary age

Contact Number: 07815 800629

Lois HoodI have been involved with WFDA since 1998. I first came to the organisation because I suspected my daughter was dyslexic and I didn’t know what to do. The advice from WFDA was wonderful – we were able to move to an assessment which confirmed that my daughter is dyslexic and that was a great step forward. Following that, I became a member and I also trained to be a dyslexia specialist. When a vacancy arose for a tutor for WFDA I applied and was a tutor for eight years. Afterwards, I became a trustee because I wanted to stay involved with the organisation.

I should add that my daughter now has a research job at Goldsmiths University and has an MSc in Computer Science. As she said when she found out she was dyslexic ‘I’m dyslexic, I’m not dumb’. A story so true of many dyslexic people. WFDA supports many people through this difficult journey and we are a wonderful organisation.
