The Adult Dyslexia Toolkit
The Adult Dyslexia Toolkit
Practical strategies, tools and support to help you work, study and live with confidence.
Being an adult with dyslexia can sometimes mean finding everyday tasks more difficult than they seem to be for other people — from reading, writing and spelling to remembering information, organising your day, managing emails, completing paperwork or simply getting started.
The Adult Dyslexia Toolkit has been created to help you stop asking, “Why can’t I do this like everyone else?” and start asking, “What can I do differently so that this works for me?”
This practical, supportive toolkit focuses not only on challenges, but also on strengths, confidence and finding strategies that work for you.
What's included?
The toolkit covers:
Understanding adult dyslexia
Discovering your personal strengths
Reading, writing and spelling strategies
Managing emails and written information
Organisation and time management
Memory and remembering information
Focus, concentration and getting started
Work and career support
Studying and learning
Technology and assistive tools
Communication and self-advocacy
Confidence and wellbeing

Your personal dyslexia strategy plan
Quick-reference strategy sheets
Printable worksheets
Practical tools you can actually use
You'll find simple strategies such as the Daily Three, the Five-Minute Start, external memory systems, focus-and-break techniques and practical ways to make large tasks feel more manageable.
There is also guidance on using text-to-speech, speech-to-text, spellcheck, digital calendars, voice notes and timers as supportive tools — because using technology to help you is not “cheating”; it is about finding ways to work at your best.
Build confidence, not just strategies
The toolkit encourages you to recognise your strengths and develop your own personalised approach. It includes worksheets for identifying your strengths, workplace support, accommodations, goals and the strategies that genuinely help you.
A message to remember
Dyslexia does not determine your intelligence, your potential or your future.
You don't need to become someone who doesn't need support. You need to discover the tools, strategies and environment that allow you to do your best work.

Adults with dyslexia
Adults exploring their own dyslexic strengths and challenges
People wanting practical strategies for work or study
Anyone struggling with organisation, memory, focus or written information
Adults wanting to build confidence and self-advocacy skills
Understand yourself. Find what works. Play to your strengths. 💜
