Dyslexia Ireland has a handy adult dyslexia booklet which explains more about how dyslexia presents in adults, assessment, and accessing support for literacy, in education and at work.
We also have a new booklet on dyslexia in the workplace which provides clear, practical guidance on understanding dyslexia, navigating disclosure, accessing and implementing supports and creating inclusive workplaces.
Assessment as an Adult
It is important to note that assessment is a choice. Many adults choose to seek an assessment later in life, but some do not – the choice is yours. Our Why Get a Dyslexia Assessment as an Adult? document will help you to make your choice on whether an assessment is something you need
If you are interested in booking an assessment, check out this video which discusses the assessment process for adults.
After a dyslexia assessment, there is often a lot of information and emotions to process. Our handout on the Emotional Rollercoaster of a Dyslexia Identification discusses the common feelings and reactions after an assessment and also provides guidance to sources of support. Each person’s experience is different, and the most important thing is to be kind to yourself on your dyslexia journey.
