We’re a global charity led by successful (and famous) dyslexics. Our purpose is to help the world properly understand and support dyslexia.
Changing Perceptions
Dyslexic minds process information differently. Their divergent, lateral thinking has created some of the world's greatest inventions, brands and art. Yet dyslexia is still perceived as a disadvantage.
Schools aren’t designed for dyslexic thinking, and most teachers aren't trained in dyslexia, meaning many go through life without knowing they’re dyslexic.
Creating Solutions
Working with experts, psychologists and successful dyslexics, we develop campaigns, films, tools and tests to explain dyslexic thinking.
Help for dyslexia in schools is often only available if you can pay. We aim to democratise dyslexia support so that every dyslexic child is identified and enabled to get the right help, and to understand their brilliant potential.

We’re just getting started and there is LOTS to do but you can help us by spreading the word.
