Dyslexia Awards Event
A
single mum from
Shropshire who has spent
16 years championing the
dyslexics of the county finally
realised a dream by staging her
first ever Dyslexia Awards.
Elizabeth Wilkinson moved to Shropshire
when she was just four with her RAF serving
parents when they retired from the forces and set
up their own industrial commercial photography
business in Telford.
In 2007, Eli’s business, ‘The Dyslexic
Dyslexia Consultant’ came into being after years
of searching for much needed information,
advice and guidance about dyslexia.
The 2016 Dyslexia Awards were held at
Enginuity, part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museums.
