Dyslexia — Tips for Success
Your brain processes language differently. That is a difference, not a deficit.
1
Use text-to-speechMost phones and computers have built-in text-to-speech. Listening to emails and documents while reading along can significantly reduce reading fatigue.
2
Ask for documents in advanceRequesting meeting materials ahead of time gives you the processing space others take for granted. This is a reasonable workplace accommodation to ask for.
3
Dictate first, edit laterSpeech-to-text tools like voice notes let you get your ideas down without the friction of spelling. Draft verbally, then tidy up the text.
4
Choose your fontSans-serif fonts like Arial are generally easier to read. If you can change document fonts for yourself, do it every time.
5
Read in chunksCover text you have not yet reached with your hand or a piece of paper. Reducing the visual load on a page can make reading significantly faster.
6
Own it with confidenceDyslexia is strongly linked with creative thinking, big-picture vision, and problem-solving. You are not behind — you process the world differently.
