We empower people
As the leading national dyslexia charity, we speak out on behalf of dyslexics to change society for the better.
Our values
Our values are what we stand for, they are embedded into every area of our work and help us make decisions every day.
Excellence
We work with our community and each other to continuously improve all that we do and the services we offer.
Respect
We are an inclusive organisation where everyone has a voice which is listened to and is valued for the unique skills they bring.
Team work
We collaborate and support each other in pursuit of our vision: we are strongest and most effective when we work together.
Innovation
We embrace different thinking and encourage everyone to bring their ideas and initiatives, reflecting the diversity of the community we support.
Our campaign areas
The BDA promotes early identification of specific learning difficulties (SpLD) and support in schools to ensure opportunity to learn for dyslexic learners.
In November 2007 at the BDA AGM, Members agreed the British Dyslexia Association Policy on the Early Identification of Specific Learning Difficulties. This forms the basis of BDA lobbying in this regard.
To encourage all education and training providers to become dyslexia-friendly
To reduce the number of dyslexic people experiencing disadvantage in society
To enable dyslexic people to achieve their potential in the workplace
To celebrate the talents and abilities of dyslexic people
Putting our values into action
As an umbrella organisation, the BDA want dyslexic people to view the BDA as the organisation that best represents them. So the work of the BDA aims to reflect the values that dyslexic people hold dear.
We will listen to, and act upon, the needs of dyslexic people whenever we are able. We will foster a feeling of togetherness for all of our membership and respect for dyslexic people, volunteers and staff.
