The Dyslexia Level 8 Advanced Diploma offers an in-depth, research-informed exploration of dyslexia from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Designed for advanced professionals in education, psychology, and special educational needs (SEN), this diploma equips learners with the knowledge and tools to support individuals with dyslexia in academic and clinical settings.

The course begins with a foundational overview of dyslexia, examining its historical evolution, theoretical models, and its impact across the UK. Learners will then delve into the neuropsychological and cognitive processes involved in dyslexia, supported by the latest neuroimaging and research methodologies.

Through practical lessons in assessment and diagnosis, participants will develop the ability to apply standardised tools, analyse case studies, and understand the collaborative roles of educators and clinicians. This leads into evidence-based intervention strategies, including the design of Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) and the integration of assistive technology to enhance learning outcomes.

The course also covers the legal and policy frameworks surrounding dyslexia in the UK, including current educational standards, inclusion policies, and advocacy strategies. Learners will explore advanced research trends, engage in critical evaluation of current debates, and build leadership capabilities for influencing dyslexia support systems at institutional levels.

In the final capstone module, learners will complete an independent project, showcasing their ability to plan, implement, and present a research-led intervention or initiative.
