Abstract:
Dyslexia is characterised by difficulties with the accuracy and/or speed of word reading and spelling. Nursing students with dyslexia can experience challenges with assessment methods and learning resources, clinical placements and their emotional and psychological well-being. The decision to disclose dyslexia can be fraught with fear of discrimination or stigmatisation, but disclosure is essential for accessing reasonable adjustments, such as extended time for exams and assistive technologies. This article explores the challenges experienced by nursing students with dyslexia and the strategies higher education institutions and practice settings can implement to support them. These include detecting dyslexia early, offering reasonable adjustments and psychological support, training nurse educators, practice assessors and practice supervisors, and fostering a culture of inclusivity.
