Previous research has highlighted that a significant number of university students are diagnosed with dyslexia after they have commenced their degree. Researchers at the University of Southampton are keen to understand why this is, and have designed a multi stage research project to explore factors which may contribute towards this.
The study is open to any student registered with the University, whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student and at any stage of your degree.
The first phase aims to establish exactly how many students have ever considered being tested for dyslexia and of these what proportion have gone on to be assessed. In order to determine this, a short on-line questionnaire has been designed which should take you no longer than two minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed via the link below.
All responses will be completely anonymous and stored in accordance with the University regulations on research data. The final question will invite you to consider being involved in phase 2 and it is only if you agree to this that you would be asked to provide contact details.
If you have any questions regarding any aspect of the study please do not hesitate to contact Michelle Cowen by email at [email protected] or by telephone on 023 8059 7854.
