Working Title:
Coping Strategies and Their Impact on Dyslexic Undergraduate Students in 100% Coursework-Based Courses.
Participants Needed:
Part 1: Dyslexic Graduates please complete this short 10 minute survey : Link
Part 2: Study with current 1st year Dyslexic Students on UK Coursework-Only Programmes (no exams).
I am conducting a year-long study to explore how coping strategies impact confidence, academic success, and progression (I define coping strategies as things that help you).
What You’ll Do:
Take part in a series of online interviews and focus groups (a maximum of 7) over the next 12 months. Your insights will help shape recommendations to better support dyslexic students.

This study provides an opportunity to reflect on and improve your own coping strategies while contributing to research that supports dyslexic students in higher education.
