Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent reading and writing, and its impact on the individual is visible throughout life, from an early age, during education, and in adulthood. People with dyslexia have adjustments during school, so it is to be expected that they will be able to make adjustments in the workplace. The aim of the research was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of employers about dyslexia in the Republic of Croatia and to determine whether gender, level of education and the economic sector in which they are employed affect these knowledge and attitudes. For the purposes of the research, a questionnaire was designed that was voluntarily filled out by a total of 205 employers aged 22 to 65, with 4 not hearing about the term dyslexia and their data not being processed. The results of the research showed that employers have a sufficient level of knowledge about dyslexia, although these are only satisfactory results because on average they solved 65.8% of claims related to knowledge. Of these dyslexia, employers were the least successful in recognizing difficulties in time management and spatial awareness. It has also been shown that just over half of employers recognize the strengths of people with dyslexia such as creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and good social skills. Furthermore, employers ’attitudes toward almost all claims were positive which is consistent with previous research that employers have positive attitudes toward people with disabilities (Copeland, 2007; Waterhouse, Kimberly, Jonas & Glover 2010). No differences were found between male and female employers in attitudes toward people with dyslexia. Differences according to the level of education were found only between employers with lower and higher level of education. No differences in attitudes were found with regard to the economic sector in which employers are employed.
