Successful dyslexic people also use human support. I have already referred to Richard Branson’s personal assistant. Michael Heseltine, who was Deputy Prime Minister to Margaret Thatcher, is dyslexic. He never read long ministerial documents, but asked his staff to tell him the key points. But however good human support can be, it is more dignified for dyslexic people to be independent. A significant way in which they can achieve this is by using assistive technology, in combination with assertiveness. For example, they may tell colleagues: “I prefer to receive information by listening, so please send me voicemail rather than email”. Or “I prefer to make a sound recording of a meeting, rather than writing notes, so I am going to use this digital voice recorder”. Such assertiveness can come from what Gerber et al call ‘reframing’ the concept of dyslexia. They define this as a set of decisions relating to reinterpreting the learning disability experience in a more productive and positive manner. It clearly allows for one to identify strengths (Gerber et al 1996:98) 30
