Overcoming Disabilities : Adult Coping Strategies For Dyslexia
Adults with learning disabilities have a unique challenge cut out for them.
In addition to all the challenges that usually accompany tasks such as completing an education, getting a job, establishing a career and achieving financial stability and prosperity, people with learning disabilities can have the added challenge of overcoming low self esteem, literacy issues and a specific set of challenges in completing any and all of the above goals.
In many cases, the person with the disability must learn specific coping mechanisms and strategies in order to function within the accepted norms of society.
One disability for which this is true is adult dyslexia. Dyslexia ia a fairly common disorder, and it is not fully understood.
However, it brings a host of neurological, cognitive, and learning difficulties that must be overcome in order to succeed in the world.
Although the exact causes of the many different types of dyslexia are not fully understood, the symptoms are easily identified and well documented.
The first step toward dealing with the disorder is receiving a proper diagnosis, which should not be difficult given the prevalence of the disorder.
Second, once the disorder is identified, the person needs to identify the specific symptoms that need to be corrected.
Third, once the symptoms are identified, it is time to make a plan to overcome the challenges that the symptoms present.
Fourth, a person who is implementing such a plan usually has more success if they are honest and communicate well about their disorders, especially in and educational or workplace setting.
Some of the basic adult coping strategies for dyslexia include addressing the learning difficulties that accompany the disorder.
Often, this can accomplished in easy steps, such as using colored paper instead of white (black ink on colored paper can be easier to read than black ink on white paper).
Plain, clear fonts in large sizes make it easier to read as well. Using plain English instead of complicated prose also helps.
Adults with dyslexia may need to seek out alternate ways of learning and absorb information in a variety of ways, including both auditory and visual.
Visual learning will often need to include reading as well as pictures, charts, and graphs, as well.
Another great strategy for people with dyslexia is to take advantage of computers as much as possible.
Technology offers great solutions for common problems of dyslexia, and are readily available in many forms.
