Dyslexia: find out more

NFU Scotland is launching a campaign to raise awareness about dyslexia in farming communities, after research showed the condition to be more common amongst farmers.

Dyslexia means difficulty with words, and it usually results in a struggle to read, write or spell.

If you think you might be dyslexic, you can find out more by visiting the following websites.

• British Dyslexia Association - provides advice and support for people with dyslexia, and promotes research.
• NHS - you can find detailed information about dyslexia: from the causes to how to identify whether you have it.
• Dyslexia Action - offers support services including free half-hour consultations.
