Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland 2026 ran from 28 September to 4 October.
Dyslexia Scotland believes that work and learning should be neuroinclusive. That means having environments where systems adapt to the people, rather than people to the systems.
But until that happens, people with dyslexia need to be able to ask for – and receive – reasonable adjustments that help them work and learn in our current systems.
In 2026, the Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland campaign was for access to useful reasonable adjustments.
The Right Tools for the Job campaign highlighted all the things that can help people with dyslexia to work and learn at their best.
Thank you for taking part and making a difference with us..
Background to the campaign
Research by Dyslexia Scotland and the University of Glasgow found that less than half (41%) of adults with dyslexia in Scotland receive reasonable adjustments at work – and a quarter of them don’t find them helpful at all.
This shocking statistic prompted us to promote reasonable adjustments as a performance-enhancing method and to support people with dyslexia to ask for what they need to help them learn and work at their best – at any age, stage and setting in life.
Keep supporting the campaign

We’re collecting a database of these so we can help others learn what might be useful for them. Please help by completing this survey or getting in touch to let us know what support and adjustments help you.
