Exploring the views of students with dyslexia attending a third level college in Ireland

This article considers the perspectives of five college students who have all obtained the label of dyslexia. As the topic of student voice is important in educational research, the objective was to listen to what students had to say about issues that directly impacted them. A focus group was conducted and the findings pointed to overall satisfaction with the label, access to college supports and strategies which could be used to facilitate learning and well-being. The insights provided by the students signify the imperative of listening to young people whose ‘expert’ views should be included in discussions to improve practice.
