Some well-known New Zealanders who are dyslexic are the Mad Butcher and Richard Taylor of Weta Work shop fame.

Dyslexia can be diagnosed at any point on a line (continuum) between slightly to severe indications. It can show itself as a lifelong difficulty or frustration with learning.
The new programmes that we have invested in can assess adults and give them an indication of where they sit on that line.
The programmes along with personal tutoring or small group tuition can assist adults to understand and manage their situation as Dyslexia is not something that is going to go away but they can learn strategies to manage it more efficiently in their lives.
Best of all this assistance is Free.
Just phone 0800 77 88 26 to enquire.
