Although some of these difficulties may be similar to those of inexperienced students, dyslexia may be suspected when they are persistent and intractable. A tendency to talk rather than listen as a strategy for restricting the input of information. This may emerge in a tutorial setting. There are many things that can be done to support dyslexia - both technology and human support can play a part. Here are some practical examples of what can be done.
Lectures Consider tape recording lectures.
You can still take notes as you would usually, but by having the material on tape you can play the tape in your room and annotate your lecture notes. Many dyslexic people find that they comprehend much more when material is spoken to them, rather than reading it from the printed page. Therefore this method can ensure comprehensive lecture notes, and assists understanding. Ask lecturers for copies of overheads. This simple method means that you won't need to copy down vast paragraphs of text quickly, as well as giving structure to your lecture notes.
