Quick Links to Dyslexia BC Information

There is a lot happening around dyslexia and literacy in British Columbia. New initiatives and organizations bring opportunities for progress, but they also raise important questions: Who has access? Whose voices are being heard? What evidence is guiding the work? And will students with dyslexia in BC public schools actually be better supported?

Dyslexia BC believes meaningful change is about more than promoting a particular organization, program, or approach. It is about building a system where students can access early screening, evidence-informed instruction, appropriate intervention and remediation, timely assessment, accommodations, technology, and well-trained educators in their own schools and communities.

Most importantly, we need to move from reacting after children struggle to preventing them from falling through the cracks in the first place.

The measure of success is simple: Will the child sitting in a BC classroom today get the support they need to learn?

Help Shape the Future of Dyslexia Support in BC

Dyslexia BC is gathering input from families across British Columbia about literacy screening, interventions, accommodations, and educational supports for students with dyslexia, reading difficulties, and other learning disabilities. We also want to hear from adults who completed or left the K–12 or post-secondary system in the last 10 years ;  your experiences help us understand long-term outcomes and gaps in support.

Your responses will directly inform our advocacy efforts, public awareness campaigns, and future reports to government. The survey is confidential, and you can save your progress and return to it later.
