Useful links about dyslexia and neurodivergence

Firstly be aware that some people have visual difficulties (eg blurring or double vision) which may affect their ability to read, as well as lead to accidents. Please carry out a specialist eye test with a developmental optometrist in the first instance. Specifically look for convergence insufficiency. This can be corrected with glasses that have lenses with prism as well as focus eye exercises.
