It’s Dyslexia Awareness Week!

Dyslexia is a neurological difference that affects reading, writing, and spelling skills. People with dyslexia often have strong problem-solving and creative thinking abilities.

Let’s promote awareness, empathy, and inclusive practices in every environment.

Workplaces are stronger when they welcome every ability. This #NDEAM, we recognise the importance of creating opportunities, breaking barriers, and embracing inclusion. Together, we can build a future of equity for all.

ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that can show up in different ways. By understanding and embracing this diversity, we can create a more supportive and inclusive world for everyone with ADHD.
