I’m also dyslexic, however my experience has been completely different from my fathers (also dyslexic). Where as he struggled though school and university and eventually attended night school lessons to help with work, and still to this day has real trouble communicating effectively through written text, I went through the unitsofsound[1] course before the age of 10.
I can say that for 90% my of day to day I really don’t notice it. With more intensive written work (writing a CV or a formal letter) i need to “double think” myself quite a bit and follow processes to write & then review & refactor my work before letting out the door.
Obviously it’s a sample size of 1, but I think unitsofsound really helped me, and when about 15 years ago my dad started work on converting the course into a program that could be delivered easier for more people that was great. 7 years ago I got involved converting it to flash so we could deliver it on the web and reach even more people, and this year we sold it to another company who can hopefully take it to the next level again and help even more.
I hope people will not dismiss my praise of unitsofsound as just self promotion, the ideas were not mine/ours, the theory goes back to the 70’s, but I do believe it has the potential to help lots of people.
Anyone wanting to try it out for free please get in contact and I can set up some accounts (just now still anyway). One of the great perks of doing something like this is giving it away to those who genuinely need it.
