WHAT IS DYSLEXIA?

Dyslexia is a learning difference that essentially impacts a persons skills in accurate and fluent reading and spelling. A person with Dyslexia may be impacted by amongst other things such as verbal memory and verbal processing speeds. It is important to remember that just like other Neurodivergent experiences Dyslexia will impact different people in different ways and occurs across a range of intellectual abilities. According to research carried out by The British Dyslexia Association around 10% of the UK population are thought to have Dyslexia.

It is important to remember that Dyslexia is a learning difference and that just because an individual has Dyslexia, it does not mean that they are not intelligent and capable in other areas. People with Dyslexia are often known for their big picture, lateral thinking and problem-solving skills which are often above average compared to their Neurotypical counterparts in the workplace.
