Dyslexia is a neurodivergent condition affecting over 10% of the population. It is often linked to reading and writing challenges, but also gives rise to strengths like creativity and problem-solving. Each individual experiences dyslexia differently. Despite its prevalence, it remains under-recognised globally. With proper understanding and support, people with dyslexia can thrive in education and work, contributing their valuable perspectives. This potential is showcased by many dyslexic individuals and their success stories. This free course, Understanding dyslexia, aims to empower learners to reach their full potential.
