Synopsis

Dyslexic people face many problems in the workplace: difficulties with reading and writing, memory, organisation and time management, and a recent TUC report on dyslexia in the workplace estimates that 3 million people are affected. "Dyslexia: A Workplace Guide" is written by a leading expert in the field for people of all backgrounds and abilities and will help readers to master complex organisational skills, deal with a large workload and cope with the demands of deadlines. It also shows how to improve confidence, deal with stress, and build on the creative talent that many dyslexics possess. "Dyslexia: A Workplace Guide": explains what dyslexic and dyspraxic difficulties are; describes how they affect workplace efficiency; offers strategies to manage dyslexic difficulties and reduce their adverse effect on work efficiency; and, provides information about ways in which employers can help dyslexic employees.
