    Introduction to Adult Dyslexia

     

    Dyslexia is a lifelong condition and cannot be “cured”, however dyslexic’s that have been diagnosed at school level and have intervention, which includes remedial tutoring on a one to one basis, identifying their strength of learning and putting copies strategies in place in order to assist them throughout their schooling, are more confident within themselves and don’t find the work place as daunting.

Others are continuously under pressure because they are afraid of constantly making mistakes and of being humiliated by employers and colleagues. This can lead to anxiety and stress which may require counselling and support from family and friends.

     

    Lifelong Implications

These problems may lead to and take the form of limited academic, achievement, economic hardship, restricted vocational choice, emotional stress and loss of self-esteem.
