Dyslexia Guidance for Managers and Employers: Dyslexia in the workplace | Think ... | Students with dyslexia & ADHD in independent and public schools | Scoop.it
A new book published by the British Dyslexia Association aims to shed light on this 'learning difference' and helps managers & employers on their road to supporting dyslexic employees. 

Dyslexia does not discriminate. It affects people of all ‘abilities’ – and there are countless literate dyslexics across all professions; lawyers, teachers, engineers, police, nurses …….this learning difference is everywhere.

In my experience very few employers understand the obligations placed on them by the Disability Discrimination Act (now replaced by the Equality Act) and that aside I think most people would agree – getting the best out of all employees makes good business sense.

This latest publication on the subject is commended by Dr Sylvia Moody a professional much respected in this field and I believe is a ‘must read’ for managers.

Thank you @APHumanGeog for Climate Change Video Guide: excellent for students and teachers | Students with dyslexia & ADHD in independent and public schools | Scoop.it
An in-depth, multimedia look at climate change, its global impact, and efforts to combat it.

 

This guide on climate change from the Council on Foreign Relations (independent think tank) covers many of the geopolitical, economic and environmental issues that confront the Earth as global temperatures rise.  Rather than produce a full length feature film, they have organized the this as an interactive video, allowing the user to get short (a couple of minutes) answer to specific questions about the science, foreign policy or economic ramifications of adapting to climate change.
