ABSTRACT

This book was originally written to suggest ways in which dyslexic students could make the most of their college careers. College careers will hopefully lead on to professional careers – for many students, including in particular those studying for medical, teaching and social work degrees, their courses will include compulsory professional placements (see note 21.1). This book therefore closes with some brief guidelines for the student on applying for jobs and on dyslexia in the workplace. There is also some advice for tutors on writing references for their students.
