Based on a survey of dyslexia warning signs - a concept that, as we propose, is different from dyslexia markers - undertaken by DISLEX-Associação Portuguesa de Dyslexia, adapted by us within the scope of this study and integrated in the form of a questionnaire, fifty-three students were asked from the first cycle to high school, already diagnosed with this Specific Learning Disorder, about the intensity and frequency with which they experience these difficulties. With a quantitative methodology and the use of a questionnaire, it was possible to find the signs that more students feel with more and less intensity and frequency by level of education and teaching and globally. Realizing what are the biggest difficulties felt by the interviewed students, we were able to propose what should be done by the school in order to minimize the impact of the disadvantage related to the individual factor dyslexia.
