SUCCESS STORY
FROM AN ADULT WITH DYSLEXIA; Are you Dyslexic: Never
Give Up
At the end of December 2018, I
assessed Georgia. Most of her wanted to know if she was
dyslexic but part of her was worried that she might just be
‘’dumb’’ as she had grown up being led to believe this at
times.
Talking to Georgia, it was obvious
that she was a bright and intelligent person and the
assessment proved this. Her problem was that her inherent
weaknesses had prevented her from following her chosen
career choices because of timed testing and psychometric
testing during interviews and entrance tests. At the time
of the assessment she had been doing some
presentations in secondary schools and working as a
labourer for a horticulturalist.
After talking to her about how to
overcome her difficulties and explaining why she was
experiencing these difficulties plus sending her the
assessment report and recommendations she decided to apply
to university in Melbourne to complete a
Masters degree
in teaching.
This is an email I received from her after her first Semester and below are study tips:
