Robert Brown, a 48-year-old architect, had always struggled with reading reports and emails, which he attributed to being 'not a book person.' However, after a recent promotion to a senior management role requiring extensive document review, his difficulties became a crisis. He would transpose numbers in budgets, misread critical client instructions, and take hours to digest simple memos, leading to costly errors and severe anxiety. His wife, recalling their son's childhood dyslexia diagnosis, urged him to seek help. A neurologist, Dr. Evans, conducted a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, diagnosing Robert with adult-onset dyslexia, likely exacerbated by stress and new cognitive demands. Dr. Evans recommended a targeted cognitive remediation program focused on phonological processing and assistive technology (text-to-speech software). The treatment was challenging and emotionally raw for Robert, forcing him to confront lifelong insecurities. However, within months, using his new tools and strategies, his work accuracy improved dramatically. The relief was profound. He moved from feeling like an 'imposter' to understanding his brain's unique wiring, regaining professional confidence and feeling a new empathy for his son's earlier struggles.
