Dyslexia: Understanding and Support

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects reading, writing, and processing language. It’s not a measure of intelligence, but a different way of thinking. With the right strategies and support, individuals with dyslexia can thrive academically, professionally, and personally.

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a neurological difference that primarily affects the skills involved in reading and spelling.

​

People with dyslexia may:

  • Struggle with decoding words and phonics

  • Mix up letters or sounds (e.g., b/d or was/saw)

  • Read slowly or with difficulty

  • Have trouble with spelling and written expression

  • Find reading tiring or overwhelming

​

Dyslexia exists on a spectrum and can vary in intensity. It's often inherited and is more common than many people realise.

Harnessing Strengths in Dyslexia

Despite the challenges, many people with dyslexia have exceptional strengths in other areas.

 

Strengths may include:

  • Strong visual thinking and creativity

  • Excellent verbal reasoning or storytelling skills

  • Innovative problem-solving

  • Big-picture thinking and strategic planning

  • High emotional intelligence and empathy

​

When recognised and supported, these strengths can shine across all areas of life.

Dyslexia and Careers

People with dyslexia can excel in careers that play to their strengths and bypass traditional language-heavy barriers.

​

Ideal fields may include:

  • Design and the arts

  • Architecture and engineering

  • Entrepreneurship and business strategy

  • Music and performance

  • Trades and hands-on professions

​

With workplace adjustments and supportive environments, dyslexic individuals can thrive.
