It doesnt have to be like this…..

Today, we are sharing a new British Dyslexia Association report ‘Lost in the system: Councils’ blind spot on dyslexia’, which shows stark findings that dyslexic children remain largely invisible in local authority data across England. Only three out of 151 English local authorities could report how many dyslexic children live in their area, despite an estimated 900,000 dyslexic children in schools.

This lack of visibility has real consequences. Many children remain unidentified and unsupported, contributing to ongoing underachievement linked to dyslexia and literacy difficulties. In 2024, 26% of children left primary school without meeting the expected reading standard.

We’re calling on government and local authorities to record dyslexia in education datasets so dyslexic learners are visible and support can be properly planned and improved.

Please help share our findings and help raise awareness to improve outcomes for dyslexic children.

✅Early dyslexia screening helps identify learning differences before they affect a child’s confidence, self-esteem, or love of learning.
✅When dyslexia is caught early, children can receive the right support and strategies to help them thrive in school.
✅Screening can explain ongoing struggles with reading, spelling, or writing and replace frustration with understanding.
✅ Most importantly, it empowers families to advocate for their child’s strengths and needs from the very start.

Screening now available during school holidays - we are here for you.

There are multiple factors affecting the development of reading, writing and spelling. Orthography (the printed form of language) is recognised in the latest definition of dyslexia - find out more here ⬇️

I’ve got to admit that I’m a bit of a language geek. I love finding out from where words or bits of words originate, and I actually love analysing spellings too, probably because I like working with visual patterns as well unpicking morphology. So, it pleases me greatly that the newest definitio...

ADHD is often labeled a disorder, but what if it’s a unique trait—one that served our ancestors in vital ways? This perspective shifts our understanding of ADHD from being something to “fix” to something that was once essential for survival. People with ADHD possess qualities like quick reflexes, heightened sensitivity, and the ability to adapt swiftly, traits that made them excellent hunters and gatherers in ancient times. These qualities are not flaws but are instead superpowers in a different context.

Modern society, however, isn’t designed to accommodate this wiring. The rigid structures of the educational system and workplace often fail to recognize the value of this natural adaptability, labeling it as a disorder instead. This disconnect between ancient traits and modern systems illustrates the deeper struggle many face as they try to conform to an industrialized world that doesn’t align with their inherent abilities.

Rather than seeing ADHD as a problem, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate how we define normal and what systems we build to support a diverse range of minds. How can we create environments that nurture this kind of brilliance? Let’s reflect on this together and share how ADHD has shaped your perspective or life. 🌱🧠
