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– Acting Operations Manager/Administrator

I have been involved with Dyslexia Cornwall for over 17 years, working on a variety of projects throughout that time. I am delighted to have returned in my current role as Acting Operations Manager and Administrator.

Having grown up in Cornwall and being dyslexic myself, I am passionate about supporting dyslexic individuals of all ages to recognise their strengths and reach their full potential. I am committed to raising awareness and understanding of dyslexia, helping to create opportunities for people to thrive both personally and professionally.

Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two boys and enjoy singing with an all-female harmony group, performing across Cornwall and beyond.

A quote that has always resonated with me 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
