Dyslexia in the workplace

Approximately 1 in 10 people have dyslexia. Those who have recently entered employment from school or university will most likely have been assessed for dyslexia. They will have had specialist tuition and learned strategies to help them with their dyslexia.

Prior to 1975 there were no formal assessments. This means that there are thousands of employees out there who have dyslexia and have never been assessed. They probably don't even know that they have dyslexia and certainly will not have received any support.

Dyslexia is recognised as a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act. This means that employers are expected to ensure that their company is dyslexia friendly. They must also make 'reasonable adjustments' for any employees who have dyslexia.

Bright Star offers workplace consultancy. Employee assessments and detailed employer recommendations, training and guidance.
