In school, educators are often aware of how to help students with dyslexia continue to learn. But once dyslexic individuals graduate and get into the working world, it can be challenging to continue to recieve dyslexic support from employers. Many employers think that dyslexia is only a reading or language difficulty, but those with the disorder actually process the world in a different way.

In this video, Rachel Mounsey and FixersUK discuss a campaign to create awareness of people working with dyslexia. Employers can maximize the creative side of most of dyslexics, and if given the right support, they can be an asset to the company or organization they're working for. As this video notes, if these individuals’ needs are correctly addressed in the workplace, they can become valued, often unique members of the team.
