It's estimated one in ten people are dyslexic, but many adults may not be aware they have the condition.
People with dyslexia are often let down by our education system, which can see them leave school with fewer qualifications or reduced self-esteem.
Primary ITO have just completed a research project into how to support adults with dyslexia.
Mike Styles is National Specialist of Literacy & Numeracy at Primary ITO and he joins us now to discuss the research.
