Dear Colleagues.

Dyslexic Academics are dispersed across the country, and often isolated. For this reason they are difficult to reach, and many are ‘hidden’. It is therefore quite difficult at this early stage to form this network.

We should be very grateful if you would publicise this event across your networks.

Best wishes

National Launch

Dyslexic Academic Network

A support, advocacy, information and policy development forum for researchers and lecturers with dyslexia in Higher Education.

This will be the first ever opportunity for dyslexic academics to work together in identifying the challenges they face, ways of overcoming barriers and to re-address the deficit model of dyslexia.

Our members come from every region of the UK and all academic ranks are represented from Dean and Professor to Visiting Lecturer and researcher. Our members so far are drawn from 30 academic disciplines across the Arts, Sciences, Social Sciences and the Humanities.
