WORKPLACE SUPPORT FOR DYSLEXIA

If you have dyslexia, ADHD or another learning difference you may be eligible for government-funded support through the Access to Work scheme. This is a UK government programme that helps people with disabilities or learning differences to stay in work or start a job by providing practical and financial support. This is not means-tested and does not need to be repaid.

• Specialist software
• Assistive technology training
• Workplace coaching or strategy support
• A support worker if needed
• Equipment to help you do your job
• Travel support if public transport is difficult to use
• adjustments to how your work is carried out

• Check eligibility - you must be in paid employment, about to start a job , or self-employed
• Apply online through the Access to Work website
• Provide details about your job and the difficulties you experience
• Attend a workplace needs assessment
• Receive a report outlining recommended support
• Access to Work agrees funding and next steps
• Support is put in place and reviewed if needed

A dyslexia assessment report will provide evidence of your literacy difficulties and outline useful adjustments and support.

I provide dyslexia assessments for adults who need evidence for Access to Work applications  and workplace support.

For some people, understanding their profile is only the first step. Ongoing coaching can help turn recommendations into practical, day-to-day strategies.

Specialist coaching may support areas such as organisation, planning, managing deadlines, emotional regulation, study skills, workplace performance and confidence.

Where appropriate, I can provide information about independent coaching services.
