British Dyslexia Association
Dyslexia is common, affecting around 1 in 10 people and is a hidden, life-long disability that can have a huge impact on someone’s education, employment and mental health - but it is still too often missed, misunderstood or underestimated. At the British Dyslexia Association, we are working to change this. We build understanding of dyslexia, challenge the barriers that hold dyslexic people back and campaign for systems and services that work better for everyone.
