Spreading the word

Since launching our baseline study report, ‘Towards a dyslexiafriendly Scotland?’ last year, we’ve presented our findings and recommendations to a number of national agencies and groups, including:

• the Specific Learning Differences Forum, a group for Adult Learning and Adult Literacies practitioners, co-chaired by Dyslexia Scotland and Education Scotland

• the National Impact Network, a Youth Work practice-sharing forum chaired by Youth Scotland

• the SQA Equality Group

• CALL Scotland’s Steering Group

• our Members’ Day/Annual General Meeting

• the Community Learning and Development Standards Council for Scotland

• at the the online conference on Living and Working with Neurodivergence.

Our next phase of work will turn our attention to the general population of Scotland. We’ve partnered with STV to undertake an awareness survey, to help us learn how well Scotland understands dyslexia generally.

We’re also looking to produce a number of themed reports, digging into the details of some specific themes from the main report.
