Your Next Best Step Starts Here.
You don't need another PDF.
You don't need another expert explaining what dyslexia is.
You don't need another social media post telling you dyslexia is a superpower — while your child is crying over homework, refusing to go to school, or telling you they're stupid.
And you definitely don't need another late-night Google search that leaves you more confused than when you started.
What you need is someone to help you answer one simple question:
"What's my next best step?"
Because parenting a child with dyslexia can feel incredibly lonely.
You're trying to make sense of assessments, schools, tutors, accommodations, self-esteem, anxiety, learning challenges, technology, advocacy and a future you can't quite see yet.
Everyone seems to have an opinion.
Yet very few people understand what it's actually like to live it.
Parenting Dyslexia is the place where you no longer have to figure it all out alone.
It's part roadmap, part community, part mentorship and part support system.
A space where you can ask questions, get guidance, learn what matters, ignore what doesn't, and connect with parents who genuinely understand the journey you're on.
Not because they've read about dyslexia.
Because they're living it too.
This isn't another Facebook group.
You've probably already found those. And they have their place.
The solidarity, the 2am "me too" moments, the parents who just get it.
But you've also probably experienced the other side.
The conflicting advice. The well-meaning parent whose child had a completely different experience projecting that onto yours.
The fear-based posts that send you into a spiral.
The threads that leave you more overwhelmed than when you started.
Parenting Dyslexia is different.
This is a closed, safe community built on evidence-based guidance — not opinion, not projection, not fear.
When you ask a question here, you get answers grounded in what actually works. You get the experience of parents who are further along the journey. And you get access to a qualified mentor, plus a rotating roster of real experts, from educational psychologists to literacy specialists to speech and occupational therapists, who can help you cut through the noise and find your next best step.
Not someone else's. Yours.
Why Parenting Dyslexia Exists
When I first started this journey with my son, I thought I needed answers.
What I actually needed was support.
Someone to sit beside me and say:
"This is what matters right now."
"That can wait."
"This is how what to ask in your school meeting."
"This is how you protect his confidence while the world keeps telling him he's behind."
Because dyslexia isn't just a literacy challenge.
It's an identity challenge.
It's watching your child question their intelligence.
It's navigating school systems that weren't built with them in mind.
It's carrying the mental load of assessments, accommodations, interventions, homework battles and constant decision-making.
And the hardest part?
Most parents are handed a diagnosis and left to figure the rest out alone. The school has twenty or more other children in the classroom. The tutor is focused on literacy. Google has seventeen conflicting opinions. And the Facebook group, bless it, is doing its best.
But nobody is looking at the whole picture.
Nobody is helping you connect the dots between the assessment report, the school meeting, the homework tears, the self-esteem struggles, and the incredible child you know your child can become.
That's the gap Parenting Dyslexia was built to fill.
Not just information - Guidance.
Not just resources - Support.
Not just answers - A place to find your next best step.
What's Inside
The Community
Perhaps the most valuable part of all.
Because there is something incredibly powerful about being in a room full of parents who simply get it.
The school meetings.
The homework battles.
The worry.
Those seemingly small wins that make you cry, but nobody else understands.
The moments where you wonder if you're doing enough.
You don't have to explain yourself here.
You don't have to justify your concerns.
You don't have to carry it alone.
The Learning Library
When you need an answer at 10pm because your child had a meltdown over reading, it's there.
When you're walking into a school meeting and want to know your rights, it's there.
When you're wondering whether what you're feeling is normal, it's there.
Jump in where you need it.
Learn what's relevant right now.
Come back when something new comes up.
The library is built around four pillars that every dyslexia parent needs in their corner:
-
Understanding Dyslexia. The science of learning, cognitive load, assistive technology and what actually works
-
Social & Emotional Growth
Mindset, self-esteem, emotional regulation and raising a child who believes in themselves
-
Advocacy & Support
How to navigate school, communicate with teachers, understand your rights and advocate with confidence
-
Parenting the Whole Child
Managing the home environment, supporting siblings, and finding your own strength in all of this
All available in a mix of text, video and audio, because sometimes you need to learn while you're on a school run.
Monthly Live Workshop and Q&A
Every month we come together for a live workshop and Q&A - practical, honest and always recorded if you can't make it live.
Some months it's me, diving deep into a topic every dyslexia parent needs to navigate.
Some months I bring in an expert — educational psychologists, literacy specialists, occupational therapists, advocates and more.
Every single session includes live Q&A. So whatever's on your mind that month, bring it with you.
These are closed workshops, just for our community. The same parents, month after month, people you'll come to know and trust. No judgement. No wrong questions. Just honest conversation in a space that feels safe.
Because community support is one of the most undervalued parts, and often the thing parents tell me mattered most.
The Resource Hub
You know that moment when you need a quick answer, and you're about to open Google, or worse, ask ChatGPT and hope for the best?
Come here instead.
The Resource Hub is your
go-to for the in-between moments.
- The quick check before a school meeting.
- The script you need for a tricky conversation with a teacher.
- The literacy program a friend mentioned that you want to look up.
- The meditation your child needs after a rough day.
It's all here. Curated, evidence-based and easy to find.
-
Science-backed literacy programs
-
Recommended reading for parents and kids
-
Movies and documentaries worth watching
-
Meditations and mindfulness tools
-
Templates, scripts and advocacy guides
And if you need something that isn't there, just ask.
This isn't a fixed library that gets built once and left alone.
t grows with us, shaped by the questions you're asking, the challenges you're navigating and the resources our community discovers along the way.
The more we grow, the more it grows.
About Bernadette
Hi, I'm Bernadette Haigh, and I'm not just here as your guide. I'm here as a fellow parent who has walked this road. Every part of it.
I am dyslexic, dyscalculic and an ADHDer — I grew up undiagnosed, unsupported, and doing what so many of our kids do: masking, struggling and wondering what was wrong with me.
I eventually learned to read and write proficiently. But what stayed with me long after the academics caught up was the social and emotional impact of those years. The dent in my self-worth. The stories I told myself about who I was and what I was capable of.
When my son was identified with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and ADHD, I made a decision. He would not experience the same fate. So I learned. Fast.
What I discovered, to my absolute horror, was that the system hadn't changed. The same gaps, the same dismissiveness, the same weight placed on our children's shoulders. But this time, I wasn't a child navigating it alone. I was a mother, and I was armed.
My son is now in high school. He is thriving. He has one of the most solid growth mindsets of any young person I know.
That didn't happen by accident.
It happened because someone in his corner refused to stop learning, refused to stop advocating, and refused to let the system define who he was capable of becoming.
That someone can be you, too.
I'm a passionate parent mentor and qualified NLP Practitioner, and I've spent years supporting families navigating dyslexia through my platform Daring Dyslexic, working with parents one-on-one, running workshops, building resources and having thousands of honest conversations about what it really takes to raise a child with dyslexia.
Not just academically, but emotionally, socially and as a whole human being.
Parenting Dyslexia is the community I wish had existed when I first started this journey.
I built it for you, and I'll be right here alongside you, every step of the way.
