Many people see dyslexia as just a reading and writing difficulty. But the problems that cause these difficulties also impact on many other life skills. Interactive exercises can help to train specific skills of dyslexic persons. Such exercises are available, but the majority of them are focused on children and do not usually address the specific underlying problems. Young dyslexic adults do not like them due to their childish nature or because they seem irrelevant.
This project looks to provide a highly motivating and stimulating learning environment for a carefully selected range of skills known to be important for young dyslexic adults. It addresses areas of particular importance for vocational skills development. The areas are targeted through direct and indirect stimulation.
The principles behind the exercises are not specific for any given language - they will work for all individuals across Europe. The exercises were developed in collaboration with the user groups as well as those who train them.

The project partnership developed a series of interactive training modules tailored for young dyslexic adults. The main focus of the activities are in the following 7 areas:
