Education matters.(dyslexia)
There are many myths surrounding Dyslexia, but with the right
support and guidance, it needn't be a burden for students or
educators. Mark Phillips looks at the facts
Did you know that 7.8 per cent of learners in beauty therapy have dyslexia? Not a remarkable statistic in itself - until you consider it is twice the national average.
For some time, anecdotal evidence had suggested that beauty therapy students were more likely to suffer from dyslexia than the rest of the population. However, the shocking statistic was only unearthed by research carried out by the Hairdressing And Beauty Industry Authority (HABIA) in 1999. There are many myths and rumours surrounding dyslexia. Many educators are aware of the problem but are unsure how to address it, both in terms of identifying the condition in learners and in what support to offer them. Hardly surprising when there is little real knowledge of what dyslexia is.
