The Occupational Therapy Connection:

Exploring of the Lived Experiences of Persons with Dyslexia Implications to Practice:

• Current literature supports the role of occupational therapy in addressing executive cognitive functions such as visual perceptual skills and visual motor skills.
• The results of this study indicate persons with dyslexia may also suffer from difficulty with memory, depression and anxiety.
• Explore these themes as the clients’ occupational profile is developed.
• Develop a broader treatment plan to address the psychosocial, executive cognitive functions or motor skills often initially unnoticed as a characteristic of dyslexia.
• The results of this study warrant future research on the role of occupational therapy addressing the psychosocial impact on persons with dyslexia.
