The UK Young Academy is leading THRIVE, a member-led research project aimed at improving workplace cultures by promoting more neuro-inclusive environments. To support this work, we are conducting a short, confidential survey and would appreciate your help in sharing it with your network. We would very much love to have insight from dyslexic adults in Scotland. We an interdisciplinary membership organisation with connections across academia, business, and policymaking, supported by seven senior partner academies including the Royal Society, the British Academy and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Our members bring expertise from a range of sectors, and we’re committed to driving meaningful change, in areas like workplace inclusion. Our project draws on the collective expertise and experiences of our members, several of whom are neurodivergent. Now, we’re aiming to gather a broader range of perspectives to better understand the challenges neurodivergent individuals face at work, and what strategies have worked well – or not – in creating more inclusive workplaces. The insights we collect will inform: · A ‘business case’ for workplace accessibility, providing employers with clear, practical guidance on the changes they can make and the benefits of doing so. · Resources for neurodivergent employees, offering peer-led advice on what works in practice.

A survey involving secondary students with dyslexia studying Latin or a modern foreign language – by Dora Burbank
Research in the academic field of Latin and dyslexia is sparse, often outdated, and largely consists of teachers’ informal observations, thus lacking empirical evidence. This mixed-methods study aims to address a gap in the literature, exploring the experiences of secondary students with dyslexia learning Latin, French, or Spanish while examining the relationships between dyslexia and examination results in those languages.
The influence and impacts of dyslexia on social work practice – by Sam Hepburn
The role of a social worker is complex and dynamic, working in environments that can be equally challenging. The role involves working with and supporting individuals, families and communities. Therefore, the interventions required are wide ranging and involve many skills such as assessment, reading and writing. All these skills can be impacted by dyslexia. This study explores the impacts and influence that dyslexia has on social work practice from the experiences of those with a dyslexia identification.
