Informationshantering hos personer med läs- och skrivsvårigheter och dyslexi : Hur personer med läs- och skrivsvårigheter och dyslexi hanterar och bearbetar information i arbetslivet

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study has been to investigate how individuals with reading- and writing disabilities and dyslexia handle their information need in the workplace. The method that has been used is a qualitative study made with interviews with individuals who have these problems, to see how they think and feel about the flow of information on their everyday basis. The study’s respondents are working women between the ages of 27 and 47 years old and they have reading- and writing disabilities and dyslexia. The most interesting results of this study are that the respondents are avoiding jobs where they need to read and write much and where they also do not like changes in their job situation. Their experience of information at work is that they fail to get all information that their colleges get, but also that they choose not to take part of all information there is. We can conclude the study with the significance of getting the accommodations needed to get the same information as their co-workers.
