A study followed up on 75 dyslexic young adults who had been referred to the Word-Blind Centre in London, England to examine remedial help received, present level of skill, educational record, achieved occupational status, and coping strategies. Subjects, 68 men and 7 women ranging in age from 18 to 30 years, were interviewed for two hours concerning their experiences since their referral to the Centre. Results indicated that: (1) those who received remedial help at the Centre regarded their experience as some sort of salvation; (2) early training in spelling skills was a critical factor in later improvement in spelling; (3) oral reading improvement was a more general effect of remedial teaching than specific programs at the Centre; (4) subjects scored well on a variety of tests of science and technical subjects, but very low in the traditional arts subjects; (5) a majority of the subjects' occupations exhibited a downward shift in status compared to that of their fathers; and (6) coping strategies such as relying on amanuenses, "camouflaging," taking written work home, or relying on memory were used by most of the subjects.
