About the day
Dyslexia Ireland marks Dyslexia Awareness Month each October. World Dyslexia Day on 8 October falls inside the month.
The 2025 campaign theme was "It's about time! Fair exams for all", which focused on extra time in state exams for dyslexic, dyscalculic and neurodivergent young people. The organiser's site for October 2026 uses the line "Together we can unlock potential and improve lives."
Schools, employers and community groups can use the month to share information on dyslexia and on supports for learners and staff.
