Dyslexia - The elephant in the room

Dyslexia is ‘here, there and everywhere – including the workplace and those with dyslexia traits are often afraid or reluctant to talk about it. This short presentation helps to understand dyslexia, appreciate the importance of providing person-centred support if needed and why a neuro-inclusive workplace is good for everyone.

Panel discussion: What can the engineering associations/bodies do to encourage/support engineers with Dyslexia.
