Unlocking dyslexic potential: our new strategy for 2026 to 2030
Tuesday 2 June 2026
This strategy sets out our direction from 2026 to 2030. It has been shaped by what dyslexic people, families, educators, employers and professionals have told us about the barriers they face, the support they need and the change they want to see.
Dyslexia is widely recognised, but still not well enough understood. Too many dyslexic people are held back by systems, attitudes and barriers that should not exist.
We want to change that.
Our vision and mission
Our vision is a world that unlocks the full potential of dyslexic people.
Our mission is to make sure every dyslexic person gets the support and understanding they need.
That means supporting dyslexic people and families directly, helping professionals understand dyslexia, challenging systems that are not working, and building stronger public understanding.
Why this strategy matters
With the right support and understanding, dyslexic people can thrive. But too often, support is hard to find, difficult to access or only available to those who can afford to pay privately.
This can affect every stage of life. Dyslexic learners can fall behind at school. Children and young people can experience bullying, stigma and low confidence. Adults may hide their dyslexia at work because they fear judgement or discrimination. Families can be left fighting systems that should be helping them.
This is not inevitable.
Our four goals
Over the next four years, we will focus our work around four goals.
1. Supporting dyslexic people and families
We will make it easier for dyslexic people and their families to find clear, trusted and accessible information, advice and support, from the moment they first suspect dyslexia and throughout life.
2. Helping professionals understand dyslexia
We will support educators, employers and other professionals to better understand dyslexia and know how to help, so good support becomes more consistent in schools, workplaces and communities.
3. Changing systems that do not work
We will campaign for education, employment and public services to work better for dyslexic people, including fairer approaches to identification, support, exams, adjustments and accessible information.
4. Building public understanding
We will raise dyslexic voices, share lived experiences and help more people understand the real impact of dyslexia, so they are motivated to take action.
The change we want to help create
By 2030, we want to help create change in four key areas.
Education: dyslexic learners are identified earlier, supported better and less likely to fall behind.
Wellbeing and belonging: fewer dyslexic children and young people experience bullying, stigma and low confidence.
Employment: dyslexic adults experience less discrimination and greater inclusion at work.
Public understanding: more people understand the real impact of dyslexia and know what they can do to help.
We know we cannot achieve this alone. Real change will take dyslexic people, families, schools, employers, policymakers, partners, supporters and communities working together.
Together, we can build greater understanding, challenge the barriers that hold dyslexic people back, and help create a world that unlocks dyslexic potential.
