Monday 5th Oct - Sunday 11th Oct

Dyslexia Awareness Week (DAW) 2015 will be held from October 5-11 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland it will be held from November 2-8.

The theme for 2015 is 'Making Sense of Dyslexia' and will look at how much of an impact the right support and interventions now can have on the future for people with dyslexia.

Today more than ever before as a dyslexic person you will have a great deal of support through technology and dyslexia awareness in the family and community - tapping into that support is the key. One such area of support is the Government funded Access to Work scheme which, following an Assessment, can help fund the support for your dyslexia in the workplace. Greater understanding of your own strengths and the support (if you want it) of your colleagues can lift a huge amount of stress from your shoulders and enable you to improve your work-life balance.

Other support following an assessment, such as funding through the DSA (Disabled Students Allowance) will fund your support in Higher Education.
