Dyslexia affects on average 10% of any given population. In an average classroom, at least two children in the class will be Dyslexic and more often than not aware of their condition. Dyslexia is a complex condition that manifests in several different ways, from difficulty reading, problems spelling, putting things in order, trouble understanding jokes or expressions, difficulties with numbers are just a few ways in which this condition affects individuals.

 

While schools and education departments do their best to support students with this condition, it can be hard to diagnose as many sufferers “mask” their symptoms and find ways to cope.

 

This masking often continues into adulthood and can lead to mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. ADU works hard to offer support and awareness of this condition to help alleviate some of the life-lasting effects of the condition.

 

We need YOUR support to enable us to deliver programmes and workshops to our beneficiaries. Please help this cause and help end the suffering of people with Dyslexia.
