This article reports research using case studies of 22 university students receiving study skills development funded by the Disabled Student's Allowance at an independent dyslexia consultancy. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted. The students identify the primary benefits of the tuition as: developing an understanding of dyslexia and specific learning difficulty as part of the process of self-development; normalising their experiences; and developing their critical analysis and problem-solving techniques to support the skills needed for studying. The implications for good practice in supporting university students with dyslexia are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
