Difficulties at Work.
To experience difficulties at work can be one of the most stressful life events, particularly if you have dependents and commitments. Dyslexia South has provided assessments to those in a range of positions, such as accountants, doctors, lawyers and people in the army. Dana at Dyslexia south offers a thorough assessment for employees experiencing difficulties at work.
If you find you:
Are less productive than peers
Find it difficult to read fast and accurately comprehend.
Have poor spelling skills.
Find it difficult to write reports.
Struggle to read and reply to emails.
Have difficultly concentrating in meetings and with minute taking.
Make silly mistakes.
Have difficulties organising your thoughts.
Have difficulty with number related activities.
In general clients request assessment for two main reasons, firstly confusion and secondly conflict. Clients or their employer may be confused as to why a valued employee appears to perform at a lower level than peers with respect to some occupational duties. A less frequent referral route is from solicitors and trade unions as well as individual clients as there is conflict at work about levels of performance.
I have consistently found that the assessment process is a useful way of identifying causes behind occupational inefficiency and this has many benefits. Reasonable adjustments can be suggested which allow for focused intervention and supportive practice, that leads to good outcomes. The assessment process is also a very good opportunity for an employee to evaluate themselves against the demands of their workplace duties.
