On Wednesday 25th January 2023 our school welcomed two experts from the University of Texas at Austin and the Dyslexia Foundation USA, in a visit that focused on dyslexia-friendly approaches. Professor Sharon Vaughn and her colleague Dr Colleen Reutebuch were accompanied by Professor Ruth Falzon from the Faculty for Social Wellbeing at the University of Malta. The group had the chance to observe some classes and dyslexia friendly practices used by teachers.
