Supporting Adults with Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a difference in the part of the brain which processes language.

As well as problems with reading, spelling and writing, dyslexic people may also experience organisational and short-term memory difficulties.

Dyslexia tends to run in families with the latest scientific research showing that dyslexia is a genetic, neurological condition.

But along with the difficulties can be found real strengths, including problem-solving skills and enhanced creativity.

Some adults with dyslexia feel overwhelmed by their difficulties whilst others have developed strategies to cope with their daily and routine activities.

Whether you have known about your dyslexia for years, have suspicions that you may be dyslexic or coming to terms with a recent diagnosis then Dyslexia Cornwall can help through our:

  • Confidential Helpline
  • Confidential Advice and Guidance Sessions
  • Dyslexia Awareness Workshops
  • Specialist Workshops

There is a cost for some of these services.

Dyslexia Cornwall does not offer an assessment, screening or tuition/mentoring  service for adults. For more information on accessing these services visit:

  • Dyslexia Screening for Adults
  • Dyslexia Assessment for Adults
  • Specialist Dyslexia Tuition and Mentoring for Adults

Please contact our Advice Team for further information.
