Back to the drawing board. #Dyslexia is not just problems with literacy. It's about creative thinking, solving problems, being entrepreneurial..and so much more. If they feel confident and supported these are the ones who can solve world problems and move humankind forward.

Great to chat with Dyslexia Champions in our online 'coffee morning' this morning. Sadly focused on lack of proactive support for neurodivergent staff within organisations- believed mostly due to lack of understanding in #HR. 😠#dyslexia #workplace #neurodiversity #legal

When employee asks for 'reasonable adjustments' they are told 'It's not our perogative to provide this'. Why #employers need to understand it's 'winwin' when they are #neuroinclusive and provide support when needed. #mentalhealth bit.ly/3puoVwT

Such a great book now more accessible to dyslexic readers.
#OnThisDay in 1945 George Orwell's #AnimalFarm was first published.
To help more readers access this important classic, we publish a dyslexia-friendly, unabridged edition featuring our unique font, layout and paper.
