Dyslexia UK testing, reports and independent advice for both children and adults. Advice for parents about their children's problems with spelling, reading and learning at school, and adults with possible dyslexia.

Although dyslexia creates difficulties in particular areas for children, students, and adults, dyslexic people frequently enjoy above average physical co-ordination skills and can be artistically gifted.

The greatest barrier to success is the lack of confidence experienced at school because of the high profile given to correct spelling. Our policy at Direct Learning is to help build children's and adults' confidence. We recommend particular learning strategies for each person we assess, which will lead them on to success in school, at work or in college.

With accurate diagnosis and appropriate help, a dyslexic person can live a rewarding life and enjoy a successful career. There are thousands of examples of well-known dyslexic people who have achieved this, including:

• Albert Einstein
• Tom Cruise
• Cher
• Walt Disney
• Thomas Edison
• General George Patton
• Nelson Rockefeller
• Pablo Picasso
• Hans Christian Anderson
• Leonardo da Vinci
• Richard Branson
• Sir Winston Churchill
• Gustave Flaubert
