Dyslexia and The Future

Our future needs dyslexic people.

It's a fact that the world of technology is taking over.We will share roles with machines 50/50. This leaves the human skills that dyslexics excel in in such high demand.

Advocating for dyslexic individuals from an early age, especially during their formative school years, is crucial. By providing support during these critical stages, we pave the way for their success and ensure a future rich with diverse talents.

Research, such as the 'Dyslexic Dynamic' report, underscores the alignment between skills sought by employers and those possessed by dyslexic thinkers. Attributes such as accountability, resilience, initiative-taking, reasoning, social influence, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and curiosity are highly valued in today's job market and are intrinsic to dyslexic individuals.

Forbes highlights the potential of dyslexia to future-proof businesses. Tasks traditionally challenging for dyslexic individuals, such as spelling, reading, and memorisation, are increasingly automated. In contrast, the soft skills essential for today's workplaces—communication, creativity, complex problem-solving, and interpersonal skills—are precisely the strengths of dyslexic individuals that machines cannot replicate.
