An investigation of the guidance counselling needs of adults with dyslexia in the Adult Educational Guidance Initiative (AEGI)

Date
2014
Abstract
The experiences of adult learners with dyslexia is an under-researched area in Ireland at present. This article will discuss the findings from phase one of a mixed methods research study which is investigating the guidance counselling needs of clients with dyslexia within the Adult Education Guidance Initiative (AEGI). The research is underpinned by a social justice paradigm and a pragmatic methodology. So far, an online survey has provided insights from AEGI guidance practitioners on the complexities of provision to clients with this hidden disability. The lived realities of adult learners with dyslexia is currently being explored in phase two of the study
