Dyslexia Awareness week which runs from the 3rd to the 9th of November, aims to raise public awareness of the issues associated with dyslexia. This year the specific issue they are concentrating on is 'Accessible formats'. They would like businesses and organisations to improve their communications to become dyslexia friendly, allowing publications to be available in alternative formats.

For more information on how to make your publications dyslexia friendly, visit their website.

They also sell a range of resources for assessing or screening for dyslexia in both children and adults, and resources to support learning. They have a helpline to phone too, if accessing information via the website is difficult.

As teachers we all know of pupils who suffer from dyslexia and it is helpful for us to find out as much as we can about it in order to best help those students. BDA has lots of resources to read to increase our knowledge.
