A DYSLEXIA expert will speak on "Searching For The Positive Way Forward" at an exhibition and lecture in Parbold Village Hall on May 9.

Parents and professionals from the Leigh area are invited to hear Judy Carpenter, a lecturer, teacher and advisor on the subject.

She will view the problem from pupils', parents and teachers' perspectives and reveal how the latest reserach will assist in early identification.

The event starts in the small hall at 7.30pm, but there will be an exhibition from various groups including local Dyslexia Associations and 17 other related organisations on show between 6.30pm and 10pm.
