We’re a global charity led by successful (and famous) dyslexics. Our purpose is to help the world properly understand and support dyslexia.
Changing Perceptions
Dyslexic minds process information differently. Their divergent, lateral thinking has created some of the world's greatest inventions, brands and art. Yet dyslexia is still perceived as a disadvantage.
Schools aren’t designed for dyslexic thinking, and most teachers aren't trained in dyslexia, meaning many go through life without knowing they’re dyslexic.
Creating Solutions
Working with experts, psychologists and successful dyslexics, we develop campaigns, films, tools and tests to explain dyslexic thinking.
Help for dyslexia in schools is often only available if you can pay. We aim to democratise dyslexia support so that every dyslexic child is identified and enabled to get the right help, and to understand their brilliant potential.

Spelling It Out
This simple guide gives essential information about dyslexia, how to support it, and how to advocate for it.
The Value of Dyslexia
Our report, in collaboration with EY, showcases in depth how neurodiversity will become increasingly valuable within the working world, highlighting key facts and research into dyslexia and its unique thinking skills. The Value of Dyslexia outlines the cognitive flexibility, creativity, visualisation and complex problem-solving abilities dyslexic people have and why dyslexia’s role is crucial for our future.
The Value of Dyslexia 2
Our second report with EY finds that Dyslexic Thinking skills are even more closely aligned with the World Economic Forum's core skills for the future, AND highlights that the skills dyslexics find challenging, are now skills in declining demand and which can be replaced by technology. This shows clear a demand for and value of dyslexic thinking in every workplace.
Connecting the Dots
Our "Connecting the Dots" report tells you more about us, and highlights key facts about dyslexia, combining a summary of what we already know, with new research into dyslexic thinking skills.
