Dyslexia, higher education, reading disabilities, Focus group, AssessmentAbstract
Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder that affects the reading of single words, and can impair other areas of life, including academic and professional performance. Throughout life, people with dyslexia can develop strategies to overcome these losses. Higher education, however, can demand more from students than their strategies can compensate, generating great difficulties and affecting their self-esteem. The present study presents a research and extension project that aimed to evaluate the reading patterns of university students with reading difficulties and to understand, through focus groups, the strategies they use.
