I have a friend who suffers from severe Dyslexia 
also depression and anxiety. Where can she go to get help with prove of the dyslexia and how it affects them? For example they can’t read or process letters. They have to use a green overlay to read. And so on. I went through the pip questions with them and they score 16 points on the daily living but how do we back up with evidence? They do receive help at collage as they doing adult learning. 

Any advice would be appreciated

    Hi,

    I would say some sort of statement from the college assistance would be useful as evidence for reading difficulty. 

    Though the main evidence will come from their own examples, explaining why they can't do a certain task and the help that they need for it.
