Dyslexic students are unique in many ways. I have a daughter with dyslexia and while it can be challenging it comes with many positives. My experience is that students with dyslexia are very attentive to details and extremely creative thinkers who think outside of the box. Given the choice to hire a dyslexic or non-dyslexic for my team, I’d eagerly choose the student / employee who had dyslexia.
