British Dyslexia Association We are the voice of dyslexic people of all ages in the UK. The British Dyslexia Association is the voice for the 10% of the population that experience dyslexia.

We aim to influence government and other institutions to promote a dyslexia friendly society, that enables dyslexic people of all ages to reach their full potential. We campaign to encourage schools to work towards becoming dyslexia-friendly; to reduce the number of dyslexic young people in the criminal justice system; and to enable dyslexic people to achieve their potential in the workplace. The British Dyslexia Association provides the only national helpline supporting tens of thousands of people each year. Working alongside our network of Local Dyslexia Associations, we support people of all ages from across the country.

Everyone talks about being “dyslexia-friendly”…
But what does that actually look like in real life?

1. Clear communication and flexible ways of working
2. Access to tools (e.g. spellcheck, text-to-speech, AI)
3. Understanding and support from managers/colleagues
4. I’m not sure/never thought about it

We want to hear your thoughts! 👇

Are the proposed SEND reforms going to work for dyslexic pupils?

What works? What's missing? And what needs to change?

In partnership with ILT Education, we want to hear from SENCOs and SEND leaders across England. Help us understand the realities facing schools and make sure the experiences of pupils with dyslexia are part of the conversation.

Take 10 minutes to have your say. Help make sure the experiences of pupils with dyslexia are heard.

Many workplace documents are unnecessarily difficult to read.

Simple improvements include:
- Using clear fonts and larger text sizes
- Increasing line spacing
- Avoiding long paragraphs

Accessible documents support neurodiverse employees and improve communication across organisations.
