Speaking Out for Dyslexia
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the comments made by Peter Kyle MP recently about living with acute dyslexia and the unseen challenges associated with social media and the wider stigma still faced by people with the condition; understands that one in ten of the Scottish population are thought to be dyslexic in some way; believes that open public dialogue such as that demonstrated by Peter is needed to build improved understanding for all non-neurotypical people in Edinburgh Southern and across Scotland, and notes calls on the Scottish Government to provide more assistance and resources to help people with dyslexia.
