Chapter 10 provides an overview of the main ideas presented in the rest of the book. The framework proposed in this book argues that the cause of dyslexia is related to an inefficiency of the phonological processing system. However, the framework also argues for cognitive and behavioural factors associated with dyslexia to lead to different consequences and outcomes. These will develop based on individual differences associated with the past experiences of the dyslexic adult. The mix of underlying skills, past experiences and current circumstances will mean that some dyslexic people succeed in their chosen area, whereas others may be less successful. The reasons for these variations in success can be highly complex and very individual, and therefore a range of ideas and strategies will be needed to support as many individuals as possible. Hence, the coverage in the book. The aim is for this to provide a basis for individuals to develop their own personalised set of strategies that can meet the challenges faced by an individual in their chosen field of work. These should provide the basis for developing resilient self-efficacy, confidence, self-understanding and expertise.
