While living in Stavanger, Monica Gribben pursued her interest in dyslexia at Norway’s Centre for Reading Research, setting her on a path where she would continue to be intrigued about the effects of dyslexia on individuals.

A graduate of The University of Edinburgh, Monica’s background in languages and education helped her to explore the linguistic, diagnostic and psycho-educational processes of dyslexia. Specialising in support systems for students with dyslexia, she examined the support provision in Scottish and Norwegian universities. Intent on connecting theoretical with practical, Monica developed a study skills teaching programme suited to the learning needs of students with dyslexia, and from this the Toolkit was born.

Alongside her role as Dyslexia Adviser at Edinburgh Napier University, Monica established Dyslexia-Plus which offers support to the wider community – individuals and corporate companies alike.
