Why It Matters
– An estimated 10% of the Irish population is affected by dyslexia.
– Many adults remain undiagnosed, particularly those who went through school before dyslexia awareness became widespread.
– Dyslexia impacts more than reading and writing — it can affect memory, organisation, processing speed, and self-esteem.
– With the right support, adults with dyslexia can and do thrive in every sector, from education to business, the arts, and beyond
