Looking for dyslexia training or a speaker for your event? Dyslexia Scotland offers bespoke dyslexia training, workplace support and awareness sessions for organisations, schools and employers.

Dyslexia in the workplace training

This practical training course on dyslexia is an investment in productivity, performance and peace of mind.

As a team, you’ll learn how unsupported dyslexia can impact the workforce, from reduced productivity and confidence to avoidable workplace challenges. Gain practical strategies to identify and remove barriers to performance, make effective reasonable adjustments and address disputes and challenges successfully.

The training also covers managing challenges, reducing workplace risk, meeting legal obligations and knowing how to respond effectively when things don’t go to plan, including handling worst-case scenarios and their potential legal implications.

We offer a short 1 to 2 hour training, a half-day or a full day session (online or in-person).
