DyslexicU

For too long, dyslexia has been perceived as a disability, as a mode of thinking somehow less than ‘normal’. And yet, the world’s largest recruiter, Randstad Enterprise, concluded in a far-reaching global study that the skills that Dyslexic thinkers typically excel at such as creativity, problem-solving, lateral thinking and communication are now “the most sought-after skills in every job, across every sector, around the world.” So we decided to challenge the idea that dyslexia is somehow an impediment by reframing it as a rocket ship to success - as a mode of thinking that will better equip everyone to thrive against the demands of the future. To do it, we teamed up with Virgin and Open University to create DyslexicU, a fully-functioning University where you can learn how to think like a Dyslexic thinker.
