Because dyslexia, like other learning disorders, is an invisible disability, you may not know whether your co-workers, peers, supervisors or employees are dyslexic. Best practice encourages the use of accessible design at all times. Justified text is difficult to read for many dyslexic adults, as it creates uneven spaces between letters and words. Use left-aligned text rather than justified text for better accessibility. Because dyslexia affects everyone in different ways, your best information will come from the dyslexic person themself. For some people, reading maps is their most difficult challenge; for others, any problem requiring shifting between numbers and words is hard.  Don’t assume that you know what’s best for the dyslexic adult. The person may not want or need your help. Make sure you're talking to the person privately and discreetly, and respect the confidentiality of all that is said. Making a list of all the possible accommodations ahead of time allows the dyslexic person to know what you’re willing and able to do to support them in the workplace or classroom. They can then select the options that are best for their own learning style. Typical accommodations that may help include:  Preferential seating (e.g., sitting where she can see the board and teacher’s face) Timed Extensions Text modifications (e.g., having someone read the test questions aloud to her) Pre-highlighted textbooks Computer-aided instruction Document conversion, such as audio support for printed materials Having a note taker, lab or library assistant Individual accommodations not listed above. In order to receive official accommodations through the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the workplace or university setting, for example, the dyslexic person must have had a recent confirmation of disability. However, an official confirmation of disability can be expensive and time-consuming. If you’re trying to help a dyslexic adult, be aware that there are many modifications that you can make on your own. If they were not diagnosed in childhood, the adult may be unaware of their own learning style. They may never have been diagnosed with dyslexia, yet this learning disability affects their everyday life.  You can help by talking to them regarding the possibility of learning more about the condition, and steps they might take to help themself. If they choose not to pursue diagnosis and support options, respect their choice. If you’re an employer or a teacher, you’re legally responsible for maintaining confidentiality of your employee or student’s disability status. If a student comes to you asking for accommodations, their particular diagnosis will likely not be found on the page qualifying them for services.  Because of the stigma associated with learning disabilities, it’s important to making sure that another person’s diagnosis is kept confidential at all times. The person herself can choose to disclose their disability if they desire.
