Organisation and Everyday Life with Dyslexia and other SpLDsPainos 1

Organisation and Everyday Life with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is the second book in the series Living Confidently with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs). This book is about the wide impacts of dyslexia/ SpLD on everyday life. All dyslexic/ SpLD people live with the possibility that their mind will function in a dyslexic/ SpLD way at any moment, regardless of strategies that they have acquired or developed. Even people with many strategies can suddenly find themselves struggling with their dyslexia/ SpLD again.

This book is adressed to dyslexic/ spld readers. Organisation is promoted as a tool to minimise the effets of dyselxia /spLD. The book covers:

• situations that might disrupt organisation
• a systematic approach to organisation
• everyday life, study peripherals and employment.

It has many life stories to help readers recognise the impacts of their own dyslexia/ SpLD.

Dyslexic/ SpLDs have the potential to offer skills and alternative approaches to tasks. Often, the solutions that they devise for themselves are very useful to the non-dyslexic/ SpLD people around them, which can enhance their self-confidence.

When organisation suits the individual with SpLD innate intelligence and potential can be realised.
