PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dyslexia: Stepping Together Towards Inclusivity
Understanding Dyslexia, Supporting Potential, Building the Future
Every individual with dyslexia has strengths, ideas, aspirations and potential waiting to be recognised. When we understand how they learn, nurture what they do well and create the right opportunities, we open pathways for them to thrive.
This is at the heart of Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia’s theme for Dyslexia Awareness Month 2026: "Dyslexia: Stepping Together Towards Inclusivity.”
Awareness has grown. Now, we must turn awareness into action.
Understand. Support. Guide. Open opportunities. Build confidence.
Being understood early can make a profound difference. The right support can build confidence, while educators, families and communities can help individuals with dyslexia discover and develop their potential.
But inclusion cannot stop at the school gate.
Children with dyslexia grow into young people and adults with ambitions to learn, work, contribute and build meaningful lives. This is why stepping together matters.
Parents cannot do it alone. Teachers cannot do it alone. Neither can PDM.
It takes schools, government, universities, employers, professionals and communities working together to create equitable opportunities for individuals with dyslexia to participate and succeed.
To every child, young person and adult with dyslexia:
Your ideas matter.
Your strengths matter.
Your aspirations matter.
Your voice matters.
Our aspiration is to move from awareness to understanding, from understanding to support, from support to opportunity, and from opportunity to genuine inclusion.
Every step matters. And every one of us has a role to play.
Let us step forward, together.
Siti Norziyana Bt Mohd Yusof
President
Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia
