1. Identifying Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a complex condition to diagnose. Through research
and new technology we now know that dyslexia is a difference
in the neuro-pathways in the brain.
2. The Role of the Parent
The first thing a parent is faced with is the fact
that their child is failing to acquire new skills at the same
pace as either their siblings or peers.
3. Employers
Supporting a dyslexic employee need not be as daunting
as you might expect. |
