Diverse Minds.
Endless Possibilities

Dyslexia Awareness Week is October 2nd - 8th. This year, instead of using a theme and resources from overseas, we have developed our own theme and awareness campaign that is focused on the strengths of dyslexia.

Our theme is 'Diverse Minds. Endless Possibilities' and we have created a resource in different formats, free for you to download.

We would love you to share this resource:

on your own social media,
in emails, and
via newsletters to celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Week.

Help us raise awareness of dyslexia and other learning differences.

Share our hashtag on your social media posts: #nzdaw2023

‘Diverse Minds. Endless Possibilities’ is about emphasising the positives of dyslexia and changing outdated perceptions. In the past dyslexics have been judged on what they can’t do, rather than what they can do and we believe that a diverse mind can take you anywhere in life, with no limitations.

Global Dyslexia Charity Made By Dyslexia has reported that forty percent of the world’s best innovators and entrepreneurs are dyslexic, and in 2022, LinkedIn, added Dyslexic Thinking to their site as a skill.

So if you are dyslexic, or if you have a family member or work mate who has dyslexia, recognise and celebrate their amazing strengths!
