Doug Rocks-Macqueen explains the tie between dyslexia and archaeology. And how you can identify if you have dyslexia. This video will help you gather information from someone who spent years in the field and in college. You will also learn that despite the achievements of dyslexic students in universities, financial aid was cut. 

When you look at different disciplines and degrees you'll find that more people with dyslexia go into more hands-on degrees.

Key Takeaways:

1
One person who has dyslexia can have completely different symptoms from another who has dyslexia. There are other symptoms besides reading and writing difficulties.
2
An estimated of 5% to 15% have dyslexia in the UK, primarily young people.
3
There has been a cut in the funding for students with disabilities in England and Wales. This can negatively affect the number of Archaeologists with dyslexia in the coming years.
