Abstract: Confronted with a sizeable challenge, organisations have not yet awoken to the factthat, in France, 5% of each generation is affected by dyslexia. Among advances on the subjectof handicap, theories are above all concerned with the implementation of a handicap policy.The individual viewpoint is very often mentioned without really being analysed in asegmented manner (Durkheim, 1930). Management research must respond to the issue of thisforgotten reality (Chanlat, 1990), which is why the approach chosen for this project focuseson the individual. In order to better understand the elements of our research into invisiblehandicap (Santuzzi et al., 2014), the study starts from a wider definition of strategic skillsdeveloped in psychology. The method used in the context of analysing this field is the "lifehistory" (Bertaux, 2016), this method being compatible with the subjects of this study:"dyslexic workers".
