Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland 2019

• Our Young Ambassadors are involved in Youth Days and other speaking events throughout the year to inspire young people to see their dyslexia as a positive trait. The Young Ambassadors were instrumental in the development of Dyslexia Unwrapped, our website aimed at children and young people aged 8-18.
• Our 18 volunteer-led Branches hold meetings/events in their local areas to educate local people about dyslexia and enable them to support children, young people and families.
• Our 3 adult networks in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling provide regular meetings to educate adults about dyslexia to empower them to access the support that they are entitled to.
• Our Career Development Service empowers job-seekers to highlight their dyslexic strengths to help them in their career development.
• Our education conference, Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit and learning modules provide opportunities for teachers to learn more about the support that they could provide to their dyslexic pupils.
• Our quarterly members’ magazine provides members the opportunity to tell their dyslexic story in a variety of ways. Our blog also provides this opportunity in a different format.
• Our Helpline empowers parents and adults to request the support that they or their child needs to thrive in their learning or workplace environment.
• Our other events, including DyslexiFest, provide an opportunity for dyslexic people and their families to learn more about dyslexia
