Questions

1. What kind of participation is mentioned in the passage?
2. What kinds of difficulties is it invaluable for staff to have knowledge of?

This passage illustrates lateral disorientation. Some dyslexic students find that words appear in the wrong place and letters get switched around along a line. It also demonstrates lateral inversion where bs and ds are confused and switched around.

Answers

The answers to the questions are:

1. Widening participation is mentioned in the passage.
2. It is invaluable for staff to know about organisational difficulties.

Here is the original passage:

"In the current climate of widening participation, particularly in those institutions that do not traditionally offer a 'learning-support' unit, it will prove invaluable to staff to embrace new methods to produce course materials and/or teaching, and to gain an understanding of the different types of organisational difficulties that dyslexic students have."
