2. Up to 20% of people are estimated to have a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) such as dyslexia.

3. Many people have heard of dyslexia, but are unaware of other SLDs that can impact people just as much!

4. “I could be anyone” SLDs are sometimes referred to as ‘hidden disabilities’ because often it’s not obvious someone has one.

5. “If you’re going to judge the cover, you better read the book” People joke they have ‘dyslexia’ when they misspell a word, but is that all dyslexia is? Actually, SLD affects a person’s reading, writing, spelling, organisational skills and memory. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t smart! They just learn differently!

6. Because people with SLD learn differently they think differently too, a real asset! In fact people with dyslexia are know to be creative, entrepreneurial, intuitive, problem solvers that are big picture, 3D thinkers.
