Book excerpt: Dyslexia affects approximately 10% of the population, but many adult learners with dyslexia lack information about the support available to them at colleges and universities, as well as when learning at work. Anecdotal evidence, however, suggests that appropriate and timely support can make a big difference to adult students' success and retention. Knowing what to look for and what questions to ask when visiting a college or attending a university interview can be very challenging. Making a choice about whether to personally disclose dyslexia to a prospective teacher, employer, or trainer can also be fraught with difficulty. Dyslexia and Transition is an accessible resource for dyslexic adults making the transition to college/university/work-based learning. The book is also beneficial for teachers, learning support staff, careers advisors, and families. Drawing on case studies and interviews with learners, it provides clear unbiased guidance and practical tools that will empower dyslexic learners (and their families and other support networks) to make positive decisions about future learning. The text provides information on how dyslexia support works in different sectors of education and what type of support is available to learners at various points in their educational and working lives.

Looking at how dyslexia impacts on learning, the authors suggest ways to improve the learning environment and explain how to help students develop the basic skills that will help them to make the transition from study to employment. Building on the latest research and understanding of dyslexia, they also consider overlapping syndromes, emotional and social issues, and funding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People can best help dyslexic students once they understand dyslexia's association with anxiety and effective coping strategies, both cognitively and emotionally. By highlighting the perspectives of dyslexic students, this book evidences the prevalence of anxiety in dyslexic communities. The shared experience from a range of dyslexic learners pinpoints best practice models and helps combat the isolation felt by many with learning difficulties. The author targets academic areas where students struggle, offering techniques to overcome these barriers. Such obstacles are not always due to cognitive factors but may be associated with negative experiences, leading to fear and uncertainty. Recounting these sticking points through student voices, rather than from a staff viewpoint, enables readers to find meaningful solutions to dyslexia-related problems. Through this dynamic methodology, the book shows researchers and practitioners how to understand dyslexic needs on an emotional level, while presenting dyslexic readers with practical coping methods.
