I have a question for people in the UK. It seems to me here in the US that dyslexia and other learning problems are never really addressed and are socialized with a negative preconceived notions in term of ability learn. It seems here in the US if a person wants help to over come problems with dyslexia, programs for that are few and far in-between. If you can find any training programs, they focus on a kid (which is good) but there is not really anything for adults. To add to the problem the programs that I found are very expensive to attend.
Therefore, the question I have is, how do the educators in the UK train people with dyslexia, how do instructors/people treat people dyslexia. Do they treat them with the same preconceived notions that are here in the US.
I ask this because as a person with dyslexia I see the help that is available in the UK is much different in the US. I never received help that can address some of my problems. I have learned work around some of my learning difficulties, but it takes me forever some times to finish my homework. Now that I am in nursing school and I am finding out that time is a commodity I do not have a lot of, any suggestions.???? John
