Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland 2026 will run from 28 September to 4 October.
Dyslexia Scotland believes that work and learning should be neuroinclusive. That means having environments where systems adapt to the people, rather than people to the systems.
But until that happens, people with dyslexia need to be able to ask for – and receive – reasonable adjustments that help them work and learn in our current systems.
This year, the Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland campaign is for access to useful reasonable adjustments.
The Right Tools for the Job campaign highlights all the things that can help people with dyslexia to work and learn at their best.
Take part and make a difference with us.
Background to the campaign
Research by Dyslexia Scotland and the University of Glasgow found that less than half (41%) of adults with dyslexia in Scotland receive reasonable adjustments at work – and a quarter of them don’t find them helpful at all.
This shocking statistic prompted us to promote reasonable adjustments as a performance-enhancing method and to support people with dyslexia to ask for what they need to help them learn and work at their best – at any age, stage and setting in life.

Order your Blue Ribbons
Ellie’s blue dyslexia ribbon is the symbol of Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland.
You can order anything from 25 to 500 ribbons using the form link below. If you need more, please say in the form – we will do our best to help, though we can’t promise.
The ribbons are free but please make a donation if you can.
Orders received by 18 September will arrive by 25 September, but we cannot guarantee later orders – and all orders are subject to supplies.
Do the questionnaire
We’re collecting a database of these so we can help others learn what might be useful for them. Please help by completing this survey or getting in touch to let us know what support and adjustments help you.
