Decoding Dyslexia for Adults - Understand and Manage it.
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.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
