Made By Dyslexia

Redefining dyslexia

We’re a global charity, led by successful dyslexics. Our purpose is to help the world to understand, value and support dyslexia.

What is dyslexia?

Dyslexic minds see the world differently. They think creatively, laterally, often solving problems others can’t. They have the skills of the future. And they’ve transformed our past, inventing everything from the lightbulb to the iPhone.

But 80% are never spotted at school. So they never truly understand their full potential.

We can – and must – change this.

Our Mission

Our mission is to train every teacher to spot, support and empower every dyslexic child.

We’ve partnered with Microsoft to offer free, online, training. It includes easy to implement strategies used in the world’s leading dyslexic schools.

Take the free training:
Part 1 & Part 2

Connect the Spots

We’re galvanising parents, teachers and educators to make change happen.

  • Join our campaign to ensure every teacher takes the training
  • Share the training with your school, friends or by taking part in the #DyslexiaChallenge and tagging 3 people on social media to take it, too.
  • Become a change-maker! Spread the word using the resources on our Connect the Spots page
