Permalink Reply by Drs. Fernette and Brock Eide on December 10, 2011 at 10:07pm Workplace accommodations can really vary depending on the nature of work.
Besides Dragon Naturally Speaking, some people like graphic organizers or mind mapping programs to scaffold ideas and depending on the severity of dyslexia, there are tech assists through gadgets like iPads that help with text-to-speech for web browsing, writing emails, or making phone calls. Note-taking and recording apps like Paperdesk also help reduce the need to write by hand.
For data entry work, we've also recommended highly specific software for Excel worksheet work (color coded columns or 3d visualization for instance to reduce visual errors between columns or rows), and on site training for specialized software and organization strategies.
