I have learned some wonderful techniques and strategies for assisting dyslexic students during the course of this study. Yesterday however, I was saddened to hear of a dyslexic student who undertook an undergraduate course at our college a few years ago. She achieved well with the support of staff and fellow students and having gained her degree hoped to go on to work in the social work field.However the odds were stacked against her. She found working on a computer difficult and she cannot drive (she has severe problems with understanding directions). Few work places,if any would employ her in that field for these reasons and so she remains a care worker in a local care home. More needs to be done to support severe dyslexics in the world of work in the UK and beyond to help them realise their true potential.
