Succeeding and Adult Dyslexia

There is a need to demonstrate the potential that dyslexic adults have to achieve success despite the difficulties often associated with dyslexia. A focus on adults with dyslexia is pertinent given that individual life experiences have the potential to make dyslexia in adulthood more variable in manifestation than in childhood. This book offers a comprehensive discussion of the relationship between dyslexia and success based on current understanding derived from theory and practice, including the challenges of dyslexia in work-related contexts and a range of potential solutions. It presents a framework to conceptualise adult dyslexia and these individual difficulties and provides a basis for success. Personal stories of adult dyslexics who have faced work-related challenges are included alongside a set of strategy-based solutions for dealing with and responding to such challenges. This is an essential resource for dyslexic adults themselves, plus coaches, HR departments, and managers in organisations and training institutions.
