Hi Liz
My thoughts; there are e many elements to graphic design work, designers
are employed for their design ability not their proof reading abilities
I wouldn't have thought (if they are they would be expensive and
potentially not very accurate proof readers). I f an unavoidable
requirement of the job is for accurate reading then a reader should be
engaged, or the job could/should be revaluated to see if it is a graphic
designers or a proof readers, I don't believe you can do the two.
Personal thoughts only, haven't come across this.

Subject: work placements for student with dyslexia
Dear Everyone
I'd appreciate any comments / advice / information on the following:
I've been contacted by an academic tutor about one of his students who
is keen to have a career in graphic design. The tutor is concerned that
this area of work is very pressured and demands a high degree of
proof-reading accuracy. He doesn't feel that the student will be able to
cope in the light of his dyslexia. He wants the student to have a work
placement with a company that will provide a degree of protection and
support for him.
Any contributions welcome.
Regards
Liz Thompson
