About Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a neurological difference and can have a significant impact during education, in the workplace and in everyday life.
As each person is unique, so is everyone’s experience of dyslexia. The effects of dyslexia can differ substantially from person to person, and it can co-occur with other specific learning difficulties. It usually runs in families and is a life-long condition.
Although there are undeniable challenges associated with dyslexia, it is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently.
