The Gibraltar Dyslexia Support Group is an organization dedicated to serving children and adults with dyslexia, in Gibraltar.

Please look at ‘Events‘ for information about past and future events such as Open Evenings and Summer Reading Club.

This website will try and help you understand dyslexia better, but we hope that you will do your own research, reading the books recommended (Check out the John Mackintosh Library) and going through the sites on our links page. You can never stop learning.

At least 10% of children in schools have dyslexia.

Less than 14% of teachers are confident that they can recognise a dyslexic child. Less than 9% felt confident they could teach one.

Four out of five teachers have asked for extra training in teaching dyslexic children.

The Gibraltar Dyslexia Support Group envisage a new world for children and adults with dyslexia:

• A world in which dyslexics feel good about themselves and look forward to the future with hope and confidence
• A world in which people with dyslexia receive the kind of instruction they need, in a nurturing environment
• A world in which dyslexic people are understood and encouraged to develop their potential
• A world in which people with dyslexia can participate fully in the work place and in their communities

The Gibraltar Dyslexia Support Group (GDSG) is committed to bringing about this new world for Gibraltar.

Who are we?The Gibraltar Dyslexia Support Group is comprised of dyslexics, dyslexia trained teachers, parents and other educational professionals.

Why are we here?

There are many reasons why you would want to contact us.

• If you suspect your child might be dyslexic.
• If your child has been assessed as dyslexic.
• If you suspect you are dyslexic.
• If you have an interest in dyslexia.

For some, having a support group to speak to is all they need. For others being able to meet other dyslexics and hear from specialists helps a great deal.

The more you find out about dyslexia the more you will understand what the Gibraltar Dyslexia Support Group is hoping to accomplish.

Enjoy browsing on the website and do provide us with feedback of how it can be improved further.
