ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I chat with Dr Shae Wissell. Shae is an award-winning advocate and entrepreneur specialising in dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions. We talk about what happens after students living with learning difficulties leave school and we become adults!
We cover
- The anxiety spiral around grades and "what are my options?" in Years 11 and 12
- Alternative pathways into uni and TAFE (and why the scenic route is fine)
- What support looks like at university. Accommodations, disability services, and tools like Read&Write
- Why people still don't disclose at uni or work, even in 2024
- The hidden load of masking difficulties and what workplaces actually need to know
- AI and assistive tech as genuine game-changers for dyslexic adults
- Shae's own mental health journey post-diagnosis is honest, real, and worth hearing
- Workplace training. What it covers and why it matters for the business, not just the employee
- Low-cost screening for adults ($650 with a clinical psych report)
- How JobAccess can fund workplace support
- Shae's book Dyslexia: Insights into the Hidden Disability In and Out of the Workplace and the audio version coming soon (narrated by Shae herself)
