coping with dyslexia during PhD study

I was wondering if any dyslexics have completed or currently working on their PhD and what advice would you give?

I understand the nature of PhD study is significantly different and I worry my coping strategies need to be reworked.

Any advice is welcomed.
Hi,

Have you received support from DSA for your dyslexia?

I didn't receive any help with my UG but have decided to get help for my MA. I have been given various equipment to help organise my ideas and study. But most importantly I have been given a tutor to meet with weekly who will help me with my work and study skills.

I recommend talking to your disability department, applying for DSA and booking an assessment of needs appointment to see what support you can be provided with.
