Climbing together: a family’s journey through dyslexia and the virtual everest challenge

Many children with dyslexia describe school, revision and work as a constant uphill struggle, alongside a significant mental health impact: 59% of dyslexic children report being bullied or teased, and 70% say it makes them feel bad about themselves. These challenges often continue into adulthood, with 97% of dyslexic adults reporting mental health issues at work and 33% taking time off because of it.

We believe this can change. We are calling for more inclusive, dyslexia-friendly classrooms and workplaces, and we continue to train educators and employers to provide better support. As part of this, we are inviting people to take part in a Virtual Everest Challenge to raise awareness and support.
