Think dyslexia is a roadblock? Think again. Ask Steven Spielberg. Or Richard Branson. Or Anderson Cooper. All of them have dyslexia, and all tapped the special talents common to people with dyslexia to build successful careers. Reading and writing is often difficult for people with dyslexia, but the majority can compensate by using special equipment or other strategies. Recent research has shown that people with dyslexia likely have other talents that can turn them into the world’s leading thinkers and doers. Don’t let a potential star slip through your fingers. Know the common misconceptions about people with dyslexia so you can look beyond an applicant’s reading and writing limitations. You may find someone who can help take your business to new heights. Is Your Company having trouble finding qualified workers?We can help. Our training program helps managers, supervisors and employees identify the talented dyslexic workers the company already has hired, and how to best work with them to gain the greatest benefit of their talent and skills. (Most people with dyslexia do not self identify. We do know 15-20 percent of the population has some form of dyslexia, so chances are the company has hired a like number.) The training program also gives companies the tools to identify the next Charles Schwab, Gerry Rittenberg, Richard Branson who comes knocking at their doors. Strengths:
