Katie Carmichael on why Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland 2025 (29 September to 5 October) matters more than everWhen we began planning our Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland 2025 campaign, we didn’t realise just how timely a theme like Busting Myths would be. The results showed just how persistent some myths still are:Myth 1: Dyslexia is caused by visual difficulties. The survey also gave us a useful baseline on our own reach: 43% of respondents had heard of Dyslexia Scotland. In response, we’ve developed new guidance for the media on how to report accurately and responsibly on dyslexia and we’ve published it in time for this year’s coverage.
