My sister is a senior in highschool this year. She obviously wants to do something with her life, but is dyslexic %26amp; somewhat illiterate. She has trouble even filling out job applications, and she isnt very savvy with communitcating word-wise (she knows what she wants to say, but it takes her a long time to say it)
What kind of jobs/careers/trades can i interest her in?
She needs something that not require:
-writing or reading alot (no office type work)
-speaking publicly or alot
Is there some kind of web site that i can go to where you take a survery and it would tell you what kind of career might be interesting depending on your anwsers?
THANKSWhat kind of career can my dyslexic sister try and get? Please advise !!?
Somewhat illiterate only because she cannot see the words correctly, this does not mean she is not intelligent. A friend of my son has the same problem, but she is good with computers, not necessarily fast, but good and is making good money at an ISP provider. Have her get into ITT there will always be jobs and can work from the background. This is overcome able I have seen it, it does take patience and confidence the latter is what probably is most needed now. Tell her to hang in there, she CAN do it. In fact she can succeed in whatever she really want to, with support. Dyslexic is NOT a sign of reduced intelligence it just makes it harder to learn. God bless her and good luck, it will work outWhat kind of career can my dyslexic sister try and get? Please advise !!?
She can do anything with proper training and support! i.e.: architecture
interior or exterior design
culinary arts
woodworking
carpentry
performing arts
athletics
music
mechanics
graphic arts
photography
She just needs to figure out what shes interested in and pursue it!
well, first off try looking up on line what others do in your sister's situation.... Also ask the schools guidance counselor to see what jobs that employers are looking for...
