About the Welsh Dyslexia Project

The Welsh Dyslexia Project aims to bring together professionals working with the dyslexia community, the commercial sector, government agencies, parents and carer, as well as dyslexic individuals to create an environment where the dyslexic individual may develop to their full potential. This will be facilitated through the development of awareness and understanding, as well as resources, for the support of the dyslexic individual.

In September 2000, the Welsh Dyslexia Project made a presentation at the Assembly which included its Vision in respect to resource, schools, training and policies. Since then we have been using it as a framework for action, for developing tools and training to make a difference where it matters. Our vision is to make Wales the best place in the world for the dyslexic individual.

However, being better than others does not mean everything is being done that can be done. Our aim is to create a level playing field in the community, in school and in the working environment. By continuing to strive for improvement we shall not only ensure that every dyslexic individual in Wales is given the best opportunity to demonstrate their potential but show the world that given the correct environment, everybody can succeed.
