DAISY was previously known as Yorkshire Dyslexia Network, until we joined Dyslexia Alliance Yorkshire (DAY) in 2024. We had been working with DAY for many years, so when the opportunity to join them became possible, we couldn’t wait.
I am Lisa Ryan, lead dyslexia specialist teacher and founder of DAISY.
I became a dyslexia specialist teacher in 2016. I started my dyslexia specialist teaching journey working for Dyslexia Action. I feel privileged to be able to help others to find the information they seek, reach their goals and realise how amazing they are.
Prior to my role at Dyslexia Action, I was a primary school teacher and special educational needs and disabilities coordinator (SENDCo). I loved being a school teacher and I still enjoy being invited into schools to teach small groups and whole classes.
I am so proud to be able offer advice to those who get in touch with DAISY and help arrange or direct them to the services and support they require.
