This year, we launch the findings of our survey of dyslexic people aged over 16 in Scotland, which will feed into our next strategic plan.

The survey will be launched in the Scottish Parliament on 2 October and key findings and recommendations will be shared after the launch event.

We have a great range of events for all ages and interests and as usual we’ll be sending out Ellie’s Blue Dyslexia Ribbons for people to wear to show their support during the week.

All of our events are free and are a mixture of face to face and online – click on the links below for more information and to book tickets:
