Dyslexia, Dyspraxia & Dyscalculia: A Practical Guide for Driving Instructors

Different learning barriers require different teaching solutions.
A learner may understand driving perfectly well while struggling with the way information is being presented.
Dyslexia can affect written information and processing. Dyspraxia/DCD may affect coordination and motor planning. Dyscalculia may create difficulties with numerical information and aspects of mathematical or spatial reasoning.
This practical guide helps ADIs and PDIs recognise how specific learning differences can influence both practical driver training and preparation for the theory and driving tests.
It encourages instructors to look beyond labels and identify the actual barrier occurring for the individual learner.
Topics include: dyslexia and written information; dyspraxia/DCD and coordination; dyscalculia and numerical/spatial information; processing and memory; communication; practical teaching adaptations; theory-test barriers; and helping learners develop effective strategies.
An accessible professional resource for instructors wanting to make their teaching more inclusive without lowering the standard expected of the learner.
