    Abstract

    Despite increasing recognition of the lifelong impact for many having dyslexia and other co-occurring developmental disorders, there remains little research into the benefits of employment, the challenges of gaining employment and considering the support that may be required for some. This article starts to bring together some of the literature and offers some research questions that need to be answered to gain a deeper understanding.
