Sadly, prejudice and lack of awareness perpetuates a  very  negative perception of  dyslexia  and many workplaces still see it as an unwanted inconvenience which they hope will simply go away.  However, an increasing number of enlightened organisations are recognizing how becoming more 'accessible' in their processes and embracing neuro-diversity in general can make the most of their most valuable asset ....their people, as well as ensuring they are  Equality Act 2010 compliant. 


  1. There will be dyslexic employees in every workplace.
  2. There is no link between dyslexia and low IQ.
  3. A high percentage of those affected by dyslexia in the workforce will be ‘literate dyslexics’.
  4. A positive approach to dyslexia in the workplace can improve overall organisational productivity.
  5. Employers have an obligation to provide ‘reasonable adjustments’ for dyslexic employees.  
  6. Dyslexia associated strengths can have a positive benefit to business.
  7. It is vitally important dyslexic individuals have appropriate support.
