I was surprised by the level of issues dyslexics face, when I did the test and saw the passage I could process it fairly easily but it clearly conveyed the difficulty faced by dyslexic people
Was anything difficult to understand?
No I don't think I struggled
Would another kind of training be better for you?
I like practical training so a fully interactive course where you experience the issues and answer scored questions would help
Could you use any of these resources in your role?
Yes - the practical exercises would be brilliant
If you are an experienced practitioner, think back to your own introduction to the field.
Did you have formal accessibility training? If so, how useful was it?
None whatsoever!
Can you suggest anything that would be useful to the less experienced students in your group?
Spend time talking to students about their issues and experiences and the coping strategies they employ, try using assistive technology
