As a member of the dyslexic community your input is so important to us. We believe that everyone with Dyslexia has a unique story and the power to create positive change. Which is why we invite you to share your story with us.

By sharing your story you can:

Enrich the Dyslexic community by helping others feel validated, accepted and understood.
Support the British Dyslexia Association in our mission to raise awareness of the realities of living with Dyslexia.

We may use your dyslexia story within a social media post or promotional and published materials. Please note that due to the volume we receive, it can take several weeks to receive a response from us.

All the questions are optional, so please share as little or as much as you like. You may submit your story through our online form or via video or voice recording.
