Hi Congratulations on being such a great friend and partner. My research on university students who learn with dyslexia in my country (where students with dyslexia are not recognised, funded or supported by goverment, education or teachers) shows that students who have succeeded in high school have built up the resilience and determination do succeed in higher academia. There are some great books with simple strategies for learning using visual and auditory tools (I use the ones from the United Kingdom). Shaywitz's book 'Overcoming Dyslexia' has some good ideas,Hargraeves 'Study Skills for Dyslexic Students' is great.
The other thing my research shows is the importance of close support in encouraging and believing in the student. Kee p going!
