Hi All,
I am thinking about retraining as a beauty therapist come September. I am slightly worried though, as I have dyslexia and sometimes spelling and expressing myself on paper can be quite tricky. I have had extra time for exams in the past, which luckily for me helps a lot. I think it was the difference between getting C's and D's in my GCSEs if I'm perfectly honest.
I suppose what I wanted to know was bearing in mind spelling can be a challenge, will that be detrimental to me come exams? Is there anyone out there who has dyslexia? What were your experiences? I'm just a little worried that I'll be marked down during exams because I've spelt the names for muscles or bones slightly wrong. The most frustrating thing is that most of the time I have the word in my head. I just can't get it down! If it was an oral exam I'd probably be fine.
Thanks for any help! x
