Any sort of assessment is inadequate in itself unless it offers the dyslexic adult the chance to understand his or her dyslexia and suggests a way forward. Education and Training. Dyslexic people learn in a different way and their past learning experiences will often have been unhappy and unsuccessful. There needs to be at least one tutor with specialist training in dyslexia in all institutions of post 16 education and all tutors and trainers, in education and the workplace, should have dyslexia awareness training. Dyslexic people who have plucked up the courage to try again will fail again, experiencing further humiliation and isolation, unless their tutor has a thorough understanding of dyslexia.
Dyslexic people can do well if they are able to use their strategies for coping.
Instead they are reluctant to tell their bosses about their dyslexia for fear of the potential adverse reaction they may receive. Dyslexic people may find it difficult to absorb large quantities of important information, especially if they are anxious or under stress.
