Adult Support Group
The Dyslexic Adult Support Group exists to help individual dyslexics overcome their difficulties. Most of all, the group is there to share experiences with other dyslexics who understand.
Our meetings are informal discussions within a small group.
Dyslexic adults often lack confidence in their abilities. That is why we encourage anyone who may be apprehensive about attending the Dyslexic Adult Support Group meetings to bring along a friend.
Most meetings are based around a theme, with occasional guest speakers. Group members also get the chance to discuss successes or difficulties they may be having.
Meetings start at 7pm and are held in Room R5. 11, James Weir Building, Strathclyde University, 75 Montrose Street, Glasgow. G1 1XJ
