Why Dyslexia Canada
Dyslexia Canada is a national charity committed to ensuring that every child in Canada, including those with dyslexia, has access to a fair and equitable education. We support evidence-based education programs to help all children, but especially those with learning disabilities, learn how to read, write, and spell. We also support teachers and parents in helping their students and kids to learn literacy skills.
Strong, sustainable, and thriving communities start with education for everyone. Learning to read, write and spell are the foundations of societal participation, job growth, and financial literacy.
Canada’s most common learning disability is dyslexia – a neurobiological learning disability that results in children and adults having trouble learning to read, write, and spell. Today, it is estimated to affect 1 in 5 kids. That’s more than 750,000 students across the country. It is estimated that it affects 10-20% of the total population. However, despite these high numbers, many schools do not know about or recognize how it affects their students or how to support their teachers in the classroom.
This lack of understanding leaves teachers and students without support as they fall farther behind in school. Despite the best efforts of teachers, our teachers are not getting the tools and support that they need to thrive.
