Why Do Some People Find It Difficult to Disclose Their Dyslexia at Their Workplace? (2012)

Dyslexia at Their Workplace Dissertation – This is a research based study conducted for the investigation into the reasons why dyslexic patients refrain from disclosing their impairment at their workplace. The suggested study is a qualitative study of adult dyslexics and uses age based sampling: dyslexics aged from 18 to 45.

Conducted as a survey research, the study deduced literary theories from the available literature on the subject matter and connected those theories with the findings of the survey with the help of thematic analysis. The literature suggests that the self-perception of the dyslexics is damaged; thus, due to the fear of being rejected the dyslexics hide their impairment at their workplaces.

This research thus critically evaluated the reasons that had an impact upon the self-perceptions of the dyslexic patients. The study was qualitative in nature and followed a survey strategy, with closed ended questionnaires used as the research instruments. The findings from the study are expected to have significant implications for guiding future research on the subject of dyslexia as well as having specific suggestions for dyslexics who find it troublesome to cope up with their disability at the workplace. Consequently, the following aims and objectives were designed to accomplish this study:

  • To review the available literature on why dyslexic adults don’t disclose their impairment at their workplace
  • To determine causes that refrain the dyslexic patients from disclosing their disability at work
  • To compare and contrast the reasons evident in the literature with those of the study findings
  • To analyse and suggest feasible ways through which the patients of dyslexia can cope with their disability whilst at work
  • To provide direction for further research into the field of discovering dyslexia from the viewpoint of a dyslexic

  • 16,000 words – 60 pages in length
  • Good use of literature
  • Good in depth analysis
  • Well written throughout
  • Ideal for health and psychology students
