What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a specific type of difficulty that is typically characterised by a range of strengths and weaknesses. Dyslexia can affect processing skills (such as dealing with information, or organisational tasks), reading, spelling, memory, understanding and in some cases mathematical ability. Each person with dyslexia can experience different symptoms; there is no single pattern of difficulty – everyone is unique. Dyslexia is NOT related to intelligence!
After diagnosis
There is often significant focus on the challenges presented by dyslexia; yet, it can also come with great strengths, as individuals usually possess excellent problem-solving skills, creativity, and visual strengths. Many have very successful careers in the creative and media industries, engineering, architecture, as well as the arts and entertainment. If you’ve recently been diagnosed with dyslexia or dyscalculia, we can help you explore your options.
