What is dyslexia
A different way of processing, not a measure of ability.
According to the 2025 Delphi study and as agreed by dyslexia specific organizations in the UK and Ireland, dyslexia is defined as 'A set of processing difficulties that affects how people learn to read and spell.' It also recognises that it is a neurological condition and requires a more inclusive and neurodiverse approach to intervention and learning. It is neurological, meaning it relates to how the brain processes language, not how intelligent or hard-working a person is.
Dyslexia exists on a spectrum. Some people experience mild difficulties; others find reading and writing significantly challenging. With the right support, dyslexic learners can and do thrive.
Dyslexia affects around 1 in 10 people. It is not related to intelligence.
Common signs
What to look out for.
Signs in children
- Continued difficulty reading text aloud or silently.
- Spelling is inappropriate for age and general ability (e.g. Spelling the same word differently on the same page.
- Use of bizarre spelling patterns, frequent letter omissions, additions and transposition).
- Lacks self-confidence and has low self-esteem.
- Has difficulty planning or organizing.
- Avoiding reading or writing tasks.
These signs alone don't confirm dyslexia. A formal assessment is the only way to know for certain.
Strengths
Dyslexia comes with real strengths too.
Many dyslexic thinkers excel in areas that depend on creativity, spatial reasoning, and seeing the world differently.
Creative thinking
Strong imagination and lateral problem-solving.
Big-picture thinking
Excellent at seeing patterns and connections others miss.
Practical problem-solving
Often highly capable in hands-on, real-world tasks.
