Dyslexia Rules KO: Entrepreneur Calls on Government to Launch Education System that Unleashes Dyslexics’ Gifted Skills

United Kingdom - When Annette Dolan left school in the 1970s, her literacy wasn't as developed as her peers. She noticed abnormalities in her social life and way of thinking, too, later to find out she was one of millions of Brits living with Dyslexia.

But as Dolan proves in her inspirational and uplifting memoir, having a learning disability is no bar to success.  Starting her career as a house model for the UK's first fashion boutique change' Chelsea Girl'

Dolan now thrives as an entrepreneurial force to be reckoned with.

In 'Dyslexia Rules KO', Dolan gives readers a rare and powerful insight into the dyslexic mind, while also making a clarion call for people to rally behind what would be the biggest shake-up to the UK education system in generations.

Synopsis:

Annette Dolan has endeavoured to inject a very colourful and eventful life into this story, whilst being a dyslexic. Trials and tribulations are many, both in her personal relationships and the challenges faced when seeking employment. Her survival instinct is to be greatly admired and she presents a role model to those who are suffering the same learning difficulties.

Dolan allows us to follow her life story and share the complex hurdles that she has had to overcome. Rejection and failure at many of the opportunities that she saw as her vocation, from menial tasks to cleaning, only served to fuel her extraordinary persistence that she would, in time, succeed. Now a very successful business woman, born from true grit and determination, she has evolved several successful businesses. Along with her personal struggle, Dolan enjoys her children and husband and integrates them with her role in business.

"When you think "Dyslexia", you don't think of someone who has excelled in the bed & breakfast industry, property development and a glass blowing business - a venture that sees me currently employing twenty people," explains Dolan. "But people just don't understand how the dyslexic mind works. The goal of my book is to allow people to glimpse into a world they'll likely never experience for real, and hopefully change their perceptions about what it means to live with a learning disability."

Continuing, "But I'm also dedicated and passionate about championing tangible change. My book makes a direct call on policy and decision makers in the education system for dyslexics to be taught in a way that encourages their skills, adapts to their myriad of varying needs and ensures that the unique gifts their mind provides can be honed and harnessed for a successful future. I wasn't offered that chance and had to put blood, sweat and tears into my success. In the 21st century, surely we can adapt to make it easier for dyslexic children to be able to compete with their peers?"
