Hi all,

I am a professor (4 year college) and have recently learned that one of the students I teach may have a problem with dyslexia. I have not confronted this issue before and while I am reading up on the subject I was hoping that those with more experience may be able to give me some pointers that will help me help this student.

At least the initial issue relates to spreadsheets. We use these quite a bit in my classes and they are a problem for this student. Can those of you with more experience in this area suggest some basic strategies for helping this student cope successfully with using spreadsheets?

Thanks in advance

Prof. Anderson
