October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!
October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, a time to advocate for support for individuals with dyslexia, which is the most common of all neuro-cognitive disorders, affects 20% of the population, and represents 80–90% of all those with learning differences.
LDS supports the Dyslexia Canada #MarkItRead campaign and Succeed with Dyslexia’s #GoRedForDyslexia campaign, aiming to raise awareness, end the stigma, and show the world all the amazing things that people with dyslexia can do!
