About Arran Smith
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. He has worked in 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 is now the Event Director and Founder of the Dyslexia Show.
Despite Arran being severely dyslexic he uses technology to support his needs and without technology, Arran would not be doing what he is doing today.
