All about Dyslexia

What do you do if you think that you have it?

There are special word and spelling tests, usually done by psychologists (who are linked to schools) which help show whether you have dyslexia or not.

Tell your school/college

If you know that you have dyslexia it is very important that your teacher at school or college knows about it - so do please tell them and not try and hide it away.

Getting extra help in school if you have dyslexia can be a struggle but it is worth trying.

It is possible for college students with dyslexia to get help in the form of a Disabled Student’s Allowance from the Local Education Authority (LEA). This allowance is only available for undergraduate students. To be considered for the allowance you need to:

  • have been accepted by a college or university
  • receive an award from the local education authority
  • have been proved to be disabled
  • What is dyslexia?
    What other things do we know about dyslexia?
    Are there things which you can do to help if you have dyslexia?
