Dyslexic Adults: GET INVOLVED!

Submitted by Judy Hanning on Mon, 2017-06-26 03:00
Dyslexia can be hard to cope with sometimes, which is why it is so fortunate that there are many support groups open and easily accessible to the public. Support groups are great tools to help someone talk about their problems, ask questions about different ways to make dealing with difficulties easier, and a great way to make friends.

I am dyslexic and dyspraxic. I am often asked about assistive technology in the group because it’s something that I have used to support myself through university and still use as a graduate in my day to day life.

Learning about different ways to cope with the difficulties of Dyslexia can be truly beneficial in the long run. Support groups are a great place to learn from others on the many different ways to make life a little easier. For example, for certain types of dyslexia, speech-to-text apps could be a tremendous help, and if you are not familiar with this, then there would more than likely be someone who is in a support group.
Having people with first hand experience with specific issues related to dyslexia, I think, is key in supporting youngsters in school as well as other adults who perhaps have just been diagnosed.
