Our Mission
At 1 in 10 Dyslexia, our mission is to create a level playing field for all children across the UK by providing early diagnosis, intervention, and tailored training.
Dyslexia, a lifelong neurological difference that affects reading, writing, and spelling, impacts 1 in 10 children in our educational system. Unfortunately, 80% of these children leave school without a formal diagnosis, preventing them from receiving the necessary support.
We believe every dyslexic child deserves the opportunity to thrive in an inclusive learning environment.
Our School Piolt
Is on supporting mainstream primary schools by exploring the role of trained teachers helping children with dyslexia.
Despite recommendations in 2009 to have dyslexia specialist teachers in every school, this initiative has not been fully implemented or evaluated.
Our school pilot aims to address this gap by examining the impact of trained dyslexia specialists in classrooms.
Our Goals
We aim to train educators to deliver tailored support and mentor their peers and provide workshops for parents and teachers.
Through raising awareness and lobbying the government, we strive to ensure all dyslexic children receive the academic and emotional support they need.
By providing case studies and cost-effective solutions through our programs, we hope to encourage positive change, benefiting not just education but potentially reducing crime in the long run.
Together, we can make a lasting impact on the mental wellbeing and future of our primary school children.
The stakes are high!
40% of self-made millionaires are dyslexic, 50% of the UK's prison inmates also share this condition, highlighting the long-term consequences of unmet needs.
