We believe that dyslexia should not stand as a barrier to success for any person. The Dyslexia Association of London has been in operation since 1972.

Membership is open to individuals, parents, teachers and to all interested in dyslexia. Many celebrities, entrepreneurs and high-performing individuals have overcome their learning difficulties to achieve their goals. We encourage our members to aim high, and offer them resources to unlock their potential through careful promotion of events, support groups and creative opportunities. Members will have access to Adult Dyslexia Support Group meetings and will receive notice of meetings and events.

Did anyone else in our community see this BBC article? Tom Holland recently shared that he has turned down opportunities to host Saturday Night Live because of the challenge of reading from cue cards, saying he is “heavily dyslexic.”

His honesty is a powerful reminder that dyslexia can affect people in very different ways—and that even highly successful people can face challenges that aren't always visible to others!

Thank you, Tom, for being open about your experience and helping to raise awareness. 💙

We're looking back at our fantastic in-person bi-annual conference in October 2024, where lawyer Chris White spoke about how the law can help protect dyslexic adults in work. We are so thankful for Chris, who regularly volunteers his time to support our community.

💙 Did you know? Around 1 in 5 people in the UK are estimated to be neurodivergent.

This Disability Pride Month, it's an important reminder that neurodivergent people—including many with dyslexia—are a significant part of our communities, schools and workplaces.

Disability Pride Month is about celebrating differences, challenging stereotypes and creating a more inclusive society where everyone is valued for who they are.

Together, let's celebrate the strengths, talents and contributions of the neurodivergent community—not just this month, but every day.

We're so honoured to be partnering with for this special webinar with Christopher Patnoe from the Accessibility Discovery Centre. 💙

Google is a company that impacts millions of people's lives every day—from how we work and learn to how we connect with others. That's why we're excited to explore how accessibility and inclusive design are shaping the future of technology for people with dyslexia and the wider neurodivergent community.

Whether you're planning to join us for our in-person visit in September or you're interested but can't attend, this webinar is the perfect way to discover Google's approach to accessibility and learn about the innovations making technology more inclusive.

💙 July is Disability Pride Month.

Disability Pride Month is a time to celebrate the diversity, strengths and achievements of the disabled community, while recognising the importance of inclusion, accessibility and equal opportunities.

For many people, dyslexia is recognised as a disability under equality legislation. It's a reminder that dyslexia is not something to "overcome"—it's a different way of thinking that brings unique perspectives, creativity and problem-solving skills.

This month, we celebrate the strengths of the dyslexic community, challenge misconceptions and continue advocating for a world where everyone can thrive.

Happy Disability Pride Month!

We look forward to welcoming you! 😊

From the classroom to the bookshelf. 📚💙

As a teacher with dyslexia, writing a young adult book series is more than storytelling—it's about representation, inspiring others and showing what's possible.

Sharing your story has power. You never know who you might encourage to believe in themselves.
