The impact of dyslexia

Although one in ten people are thought to be dyslexic, it is still poorly understood and the challenges presented by school and the workplace can leave individuals, parents and carers feeling frustrated, helpless and exhausted.

However, dyslexic thinking can be a real advantage! With the right support, the dyslexic learner can discover their strengths and talents - and begin to thrive.

About dyslexia

Dyslexia affects the way that the brain processes verbal information, and is often first noticed when children are learning to read and write. However, dyslexia can affect other skills as well, such as personal organisation and remembering information such as instructions and facts. It may not become evident until a child is in secondary school, or even beyond.

You can see the recently revised definition of dyslexia here.
