Once dyslexia is identified in a student, simple changes to the classroom environment can make a big difference. Changes to the classroom include such simple items as printing handouts on yellow paper to reduce the black and white contrasts. Other “reasonable adjustments” may include assistive technologies and adapted keyboards for the computer.
“There are many different ways that those with dyslexia can be helped in the classroom.”
As with all “reasonable adjustments”, it is important to experiment and sees what positively impacts each child, and ultimately every affected adult. Per the Equality Act 2010, dyslexia difficulties give workers the right to request “reasonable adjustments” in the workplace. With this in mind, assistive technologies that helped a child could be used to support adults with dyslexia difficulties.
