It's Neurodiversity Celebration week!

Neurodiversity Celebration Week Neurodiversity Celebration Week aims to bring about worldwide neurodiversity acceptance, equality and inclusion in schools and workplaces.

We’re standing alongside an incredible crowd of campaigners, parents, educators, and young people - calling for urgent change in our schools. The British Dyslexia Association is proud to be here, campaigning alongside Jamie Oliver to make sure every child gets the support they need to thrive.

Right now, too many children with dyslexia are slipping through the cracks, not because they lack ability, but because they aren’t being identified and supported early enough.

It’s time for the government to take action! We need more training for teachers, early identification and early intervention, and a real commitment to making education accessible for all.

If you believe in equal opportunities for dyslexic children, let’s make some noise.
