The Dyslexia Podcast

Not Helped Students in New Zealand


Listen Later

Today, we will discuss a paper about young people in New Zealand who break the law and why they do so. This paper shows the importance of helping students with learning differences and what can happen if people with dyslexia are not helped. I have stated multiple times in this podcast that I know that it is not just not having undocumented learning differences that can cause a student to drop out and break the law. There are many influences that can cause a student to drop out and break the law, but I am trying to state that having an undocumented learning difference can be one of those factors.
