Meet the Team

Dyslexia Cornwall employs a small team of people who focus on co-ordinating our volunteer services.  In addition, we also employ specialist dyslexia advisers who work on our funded projects and consultancy services.

Laura Wright– Administrator

I have worked for Dyslexia Cornwall on various projects, on and off for 15 years. I am delighted to be back with Dyslexia Cornwall in my current role as administrator. I have grown up in Cornwall and am dyslexic myself and this has made me more passionate about helping to enable dyslexic individuals , of any age to reach their full potential, through raising awareness of dyslexia and associated difficulties and strengths. I am a mother to two boys and I enjoy singing as part of an all female harmony group touring Cornwall and beyond. My favourite saying is ‘Dyslexia is not something I have, it’s something I am’.

Miriam Kennedy – Specialist Dyslexia Advisor 

I have been employed in adult education for 17 years working for a London Borough, teaching literacy and numeracy and supporting dyslexic students. I started managing dyslexia support in 2006 and was responsible for teaching and supporting lecturers to identify and refer learners with specific learning difficulties and adapt to their learners’ needs and for some lecturers to give one to one support. I moved to Cornwall after being made redundant as a result of Government’s funding cuts to adult education at the end of 2015. Although I half planned to live the `good life’ I was delighted to be given the opportunity to continue working with dyslexic adults and to improve awareness of dyslexia in Cornwall as an outreach worker
