About

Sascha Roos is an author and dyslexia specialist supporting people with dyslexia for over 20 years. She has a well-established private practice, and an approach that encourages the strengths and abilities of the dyslexic individual.

She is the author of At Home With Dyslexia, a popular guide on dyslexia for parents since its publication in 2018. Her new book At School With Dyslexia came out in September 2024, and is a dyslexia-friendly guide for dyslexic teenagers on how to study. It is full of practical advice and support, including tips and heartfelt experiences from fellow dyslexic students.

Both of Sascha’s books are available in bookshops internationally as well as online as an e-book and audiobook.

Sascha continues to work to transform the negative attitudes towards dyslexia, to raise expectations and to change the language around this learning difference.

Sascha is originally from Cambridge, with a background in English and Drama and an MA from Goldsmiths’ College, London. She lives in Cork in the Republic of Ireland.

• Higher Level English support for Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate students with dyslexia
• Consultations for concerned parents, where they can be given the knowledge and confidence to support their dyslexic child at home and at school

“The sessions are very encouraging and affirming. Your positive approach to dyslexia, where it is not ‘a problem’, has been great.” parent of a child with dyslexia
