1. Have your say
I would love to hear your experiences about how you as a dyslexic
individual have coped either at school or in the workplace.
Do those you come into contact with know that you're dyslexic?
Do others treat your difficulties with respect or do you feel they
see you as someone who has 'problems'?
2. Teachers
Children love to play games and can learn more through
the process than any other method.
It is often the case that children with specific learning difficulties,
e.g. dyslexia, receive additional support from the LSA/TA.
3. Parent Power
As a parent do you realise that you could be holding the
key to your child's academic success?
4. Employers
All companies should be in the business of making the
most of their employees and bringing out the best in everyone.

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. This affects they way information is
received and processed by the brain causing some data to be processed
in a part of the brain that is not designed to analyse and store
the information.
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.
This might be obvious as early as two years old where the child
is having difficulties with speech and language skills or reaching
their developmental milestones.
3. Employers
Supporting a dyslexic employee need not be as daunting
as you might expect. In ninety percent of cases dyslexic individuals
require no more than an understanding that they are dyslexic.
