    In conversation with... Arran Smith

    Arran classes himself as one in 4% of the population, who are severely dyslexic adults. When Arran was aged 9, he was diagnosed with dyslexia. He uses the metaphor that dyslexia is like going to the dentist - well that’s how it was for him, all the way until he was 14. This was the age when he realised that dyslexia is a difference, not a disadvantage. During Arran’s working life he has worked in many industries, including: youth work, retail, business, and the not-for-profit sector. Arran has worked within the dyslexia sector for over 15 years. He is chairman of the Leicestershire Dyslexia Association, and previously worked and volunteered for the British Dyslexia Association in varied roles. Arran has spoken at many large conferences and events across the UK, and more recently spoke at a national conference in India. Despite being severely dyslexic, Arran uses technology to support his needs - and without it, he would not be doing what he is today. You can follow Arran on Twitter @ArranDyslexia
