SUPPORT DYSLEXIA CAMPAIGN

Dyslexia friendly website

This is a campaign to get government departments, service providers and companies to make their websites more accessible to dyslexic people and disabled people. We are already working with www.TEXTHELP.com to ensure people can have text read to them on all enabled websites. Any development will be demonstrated on our new website. We welcome your input and comments before the launch in Spring 2003.

ADO (National Registered Charity No. 1022854) is at a turning point in its development and we need your help to ensure we carry on supporting you and representing you out there.

There are currently three campaigns the ADO would like to bring to your attention.

DYSLEXIA EMPLOYMENT CAMPAIGN

Is a campaign to bring awareness of dyslexia to the employment market, targeting employers and service providers. We will highlight the practical things that could be done for dyslexics, demonstrate some of the new innovations approaches to training and aim to influence all relevant company policies.

  • Event/Activities ADO ran a successful UK wide programme to set up new groups and to support existing groups for dyslexic. The groups who attended our tailor-made courses were provided with information and resources about facilitating and establishing new groups. Other groups outside the UK, which was established with the help of ADO, are Jamaica, Brussels (a French and an English Groups) and a New York, which is still in the process.
