Organising ideas
Dyslexic people usually have good ideas (lateral thinkers), but are poor at organising them on paper. It helps to :
• Use mindmaps
• Record ideas
• Work in a group with a non-dyslexic scribe

If it’s right for the dyslexic student, it’s right for all students
Given the option, many students choose the dyslexic options for:
• Dyslexia friendly worksheets
• Using a wordprocessor
• Their own choice screen displays
• Planning with mindmaps
• Technical wordlists before a new topic
• A printout of homework details
