Dyslexia in Business
What employers may not be aware of is that Dyslexia is formally recognised in law as a learning disability and therefore an employer has a duty under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 2005, to make reasonable adjustments to alleviate the difficulties.
Dyslexic talents for business - Continued
It is not all negative news for employers, as dyslexics can excel in the work place with the right kind of support which, in most cases, can be addressed with modern computer based technologies and by developing practical coping strategies.
As Dyslexia is a recognised condition, employers are able to receive government funding (between 80-100% of cost) to provide such supportive aids for the sole use of the employee.
This is through a scheme called Access to Work. This involves an assessor from Job Centre Plus (DWP) assessing the needs of the individual within the work place. They will then make practical recommendations for which funding can then be accessed.
By combining this technological support with our Dyslexic Coaching service, your dyslexic employee can focus their abilities and efforts on their working duties, improve their performance, reduce stress and become a happier, more productive worker.

If you have suspicions about your employees or self, we can advise/ arrange a screening or provide a full diagnostic evaluation to test for dyslexia in adults.
This will identify strengths and weaknesses and combined with coaching, ensures that they can come to accept their failings as the condition and not a personal failing. With the correct support and strategies, they can grow to become an asset to your business.
