the challenges and finding solutions. We hope that the ideas in this
book provide these starting points.
Part I provides the background to what we see as adult dyslexia and
how we see this relating to issues of success, particularly in employ-
ment (Chapters 1–3). Part II (Chapters 4–9) focuses on strategies to
deal with various aspects of work, hopefully providing the reader with
possible solutions that they can tailor to their own circumstances and
needs. These strategies are contained in comments/stories told us by
adults with dyslexia, though we present our own interpretations of
these comments/stories so as to fit with the content of the book. The
final chapter (Chapter 10) summarises these ideas and gives our final
concluding thoughts. Before we discuss these ideas, though, we need
to present what we see as the background to dyslexia in adults.
