How Aware Are You Of The Positive Attributes Associated With Dyslexia?

How Aware Are You Of The Positive Attributes Associated With Dyslexia?

Natalie, a final year Economics student at the University of Leeds, is currently completing research for their final year dissertation and needs your help to tackle the misconceptions associated with dyslexia in the workplace. If you’re interested, please take a few minutes to complete the survey today!

Why is this important?

The survey aims to assess the level of understanding that both dyslexic and non-dyslexic employees have regarding the skills strongly associated with dyslexic thinking. The results will highlight the workforce’s current perceptions of dyslexic cognition, which will aid us in suggesting effective interventions and guiding further research. By truly understanding the accurate skills associated with different cognitive variations, we can help employees thrive in the workplace and enhance the efficiency of our labour force.

Make a difference – your voice matters:

There is no judgment! Please answer honestly so we can gauge an accurate level of understanding. Every response counts and helps us move closer to a more inclusive and supportive work environment for everyone.

The survey only takes 3 minutes, and your insights could lead to meaningful change.
