Hugh Latta is one the people ‘behind the scenes’ doing work for Dyslexia Scotland
Hugh and his brother Tommy run Communicate Mailing, a print and distribution company that sends Dyslexia Voice magazine to our members. We recently learned that Hugh is dyslexic and invited him to share his story.
“I have been a Director of Communicate Mailing Ltd for over 21 years. I left school with no qualifications, not understanding why I felt so thick. I played a high standard of chess, enjoyed the lessons at school but failed every exam I sat.
I joined the Army and passed the IQ test with flying colours but come the written test, I failed miserably. I got a letter from the military asking me to come in and see them once again and so I did.
There were several people at the meeting asking me all sorts of questions about my schooling. They then sat me down to do another written test which was like the one I failed but worded differently. That’s when I was told that I was dyslexic.
A massive weight was lifted off my shoulders. I never looked back from that day on. Working with Dyslexia Scotland printing and mailing this newsletter has given me a sense of pride.”
