The need for better employer understanding and accommodations for dyslexic individuals

Terry Johnston, diagnosed with dyslexia in his 40s, was awarded £15,000 in compensation after an industrial tribunal ruled the Department of Finance discriminated against him during recruitment.

The department failed to make reasonable adjustments for his dyslexia in a numerical test. Despite offering some accommodations, they were ineffective.

Johnston's experience left him feeling "worthless" and affected his mental health. The case highlights the need for better employer understanding and accommodations for dyslexic individuals.
