Dyslexia Awareness Week

Raising the Volume: Celebrating Dyslexia Awareness Week 2025

At Beyond Limits, we believe in the power of inclusion and the strength found in diversity. As we observe Dyslexia Awareness Week 2025, we stand united with the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) in amplifying the voices of young people with dyslexia. This year’s theme, “Raising the Volume”, encourages us all to listen, understand, and act.

Understanding Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a specific learning difference that affects how individuals process written and spoken language. It’s estimated that around 1 in 10 people are dyslexic, making it one of the most common learning differences. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence; in fact, many dyslexic individuals possess exceptional creativity, problem-solving skills, and innovative thinking.

The Importance of Listening to Young Voices

This year, the BDA has launched a pivotal report titled “Set up for somebody else”, based on the perspectives of 500 young people with dyslexia. The report sheds light on their experiences, challenges, and aspirations within the education system. Their voices are clear: they seek understanding, support, and a system that recognises their unique needs.

Ways You Can Get Involved

We encourage everyone to participate in Dyslexia Awareness Week 2025 by:

  • Engaging with the BDA’s Campaigns: Support initiatives like the “HEAR US” Voice Petition, which calls for urgent changes in the education system to better support dyslexic students.

  • Sharing Stories: Amplify the voices of young people with dyslexia by sharing their stories and experiences on social media using the hashtag #DAW25.

  • Educating Others: Use resources provided by the BDA to educate friends, family, and colleagues about dyslexia and how they can offer support.

Conclusion

Dyslexia Awareness Week is more than just a time to raise awareness; it’s an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of young people with dyslexia. By listening to their stories, understanding their challenges, and advocating for change, we can create a more inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

At Beyond Limits, we are proud to be part of this movement. Together, let’s raise the volume and ensure that the voices of people with dyslexia are heard and valued.
