adult dyslexia
This site has an adult dyslexia screening test: www.amidyslexic.com. For other info on adult dyslexia the Adult Dyslexia Organisation might be worth a look.

Adult with dyslexia!
I would have said that in the UK Dyslexia Action (www.dyslexiaaction.org.uk) is your best bet for information on adult dyslexia though I don't know that many really good sites that cover adult dyslexia.

Thanks for your post Beth. Are there any sites anyone can recommend that give information on adult dyslexia?

Unfortunately dyslexia is not something children ''grow out of'' and adult dyslexia is certainly an under-catered for area. In an ideal situation children receive the appropriate support while going through school so that by the time they leave they have the appropriate strategies in place to cope and manage their dyslexia when they are adults, therefore making adult dyslexia less of a problem.

Is there a time when dyslexia starts to have less of an impact. My son always struggled at school due to dyslexia but thankfully now has got to university. Does dyslexia continue in adults? I appreciate that this site mainly looks dyslexia in children rather than adult dyslexia (though the talk on dyslexia in the workplace I found helpful). However does anytone know any good resources or sites that focus on adult dyslexia.
