AI explored in new magazine

Dyslexia Scotland publishes Artificial Intelligence special edition of Dyslexia Voice magazine

The Winter 2025 edition of Dyslexia Scotland’s magazine Dyslexia Voice is published this month. The special issue is dedicated to exploring the fast-evolving relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the dyslexic community.

The new edition brings together lived-experience stories, expert commentary and practical guidance to help people with dyslexia, their families, educators and employers navigate the opportunities and challenges created by AI. The magazine also features highlights from Dyslexia Scotland’s recent national work, including myth-busting campaigns, new partnerships and updated guidance for media and designers.

Cathy Magee OBE, Chief Executive of Dyslexia Scotland, said: “AI is becoming a significant part of how we learn, work and communicate. For many people with dyslexia, it offers new pathways to independence and confidence, yet it also exacerbates the problems of digital exclusion. This special edition captures diverse perspectives on how AI is already shaping lives and how we can harness it responsibly and inclusively.”

Key features of the Winter 2025 edition include:

• Inspiring personal stories, including Abbie Freeman’s journey from school struggles to appearing on a BBC documentary
• Expert insights on AI tools that support reading, writing, organisation and teaching
• A new dyslexia-friendly typed formats guide to help designers, educators and communicators produce more accessible content
• New guidance for journalists following research showing 71% of adults with dyslexia feel misrepresented in the media
• Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland highlights, including a national campaign that reached tens of thousands and generated over 42,000 blue ribbons worn across the country
• Updates to the Scottish Working Definition of Dyslexia, revised in line with internationally agreed criteria
• A new accessibility partnership with Edinburgh Airport, ensuring dyslexic passengers’ needs are better recognised and supported
• Author Margaret Rooke’s new book
