>Would anyone have any useful (brief) case studies of students who are
>dyslexic adapting their skills to 'cope' in mainstream teaching environments.
> We know that with support such students can achieve on their courses but it
>is the practical area of teaching practice where difficulties such as
>correcting pupils work, writing on the board etc where their skills may 'let
>them down', so to speak.
>I would be grateful for any comments, nothing technical just based on
>classroom activites armed with a pen and chalk !
>
>Also do any institutions require their applicants to produce a written piece
>of work at interview, done on the day ?
