Impact on study

Alex: Dyslexia prevents me from really organising my notes or organising my argument when writing an essay, so organisation skills are a real weakness with my dyslexia.

Grammar, punctuation, argument, development and things like that are hindered, but it's also my ability to take notes during tutorials, or my ability to engage fully in a tutorial because I might not be able to copy the work off a board, or I might not be able to keep up with a PowerPoint presentation as quickly as other students, and it can leave me feeling very vulnerable in a situation such as a tutorial.
