Dyslexia Dissertation - Help!
Hi Everybody,
I'm in my third year at the University of Portsmouth, and I'm completing my dissertation on people with dyslexia and how computer mediated communication can act as a tool to alleviate problems faced by dyslexics.
So I'm looking for participants who preferably can use an instant messenging service, such as MSN or skype and would be willing to help me with my dissertation. Participation can be organised to suit you and can be done from the comfort of your own home, and will only take a few minutes out of your day
Would anybody be willing to help me? I would be so grateful!
Thanks,
Sian

Hi Sian!
All I have to say is that is an ambitious dissertation.Good Luck! I am an adult who has lived with dyslexia my entire life and I am very thankful for spell check! :) I am not sure how I made it all these years without it. I can share with you that it is much easier to express myself through the computer, being able to type rather than hand write things out is AMAZING!
