Empowering Dyslexic Thinking in every workplace.

Now is the time to empower Dyslexic Thinking

Dyslexics have the exact skills needed for the workforce of today: creativity, empathy, problem-solving and communication skills. These Dyslexic Thinking skills are highly valued in a fast-changing world of work – and are now recognised by the world’s largest careers network, LinkedIn, who offer their 774+ million members the chance to add Dyslexic Thinking to their profile as a searchable skill.

NOW is the time for dyslexics to share their sought-after skills with the world and for employers to do all they can to empower Dyslexic Thinking in the workplace – or risk being left behind.

Research tells us Dyslexic Thinking is vital

Our 2018 report, Value of Dyslexia 1, found that Dyslexic Thinking skills match with the skills of the future (as identified by the World Economic Forum). While the skills dyslexics find challenging are in decline, according to the second Value of Dyslexia report. Our latest report, Dyslexic Dynamic, finds that the pandemic has sped up the process of automation and Dyslexic Thinking is vital for the workplace of today.

21st Century Definition of Dyslexia

Dyslexia influences as many as 1 in 5 people and is a genetic difference in an individual’s ability to learn and process information. As a result, dyslexic individuals have differing abilities, with strengths in creative, problem-solving and communication skills and challenges with spelling, reading and memorising facts.

Generally, a dyslexic cognitive profile will be uneven when compared to a neurotypical cognitive profile. This means that dyslexic individuals really do think differently. Traditional benchmarking disadvantages dyslexics, measuring them against the very things they find challenging.
