Dyslexia Adult Network
The Dyslexia Adult Network (DAN) has been founded to increase awareness of the impact of dyslexia and related conditions on adults.
We are made up of representatives of the major dyslexia charities and of specialists, including adults with dyslexia.
There are many myths about dyslexia in adults which we want to eradicate.
We also want to draw attention to the waste of potential (arising from inadequate education and lack of good support) which has an impact on us all.
We are identifying key areas for our campaigns. We are passionate about campaigning to change mindsets and gain recognition for this hidden issue which affects 10 million people in the UK.

London South Dyslexia Support Network:
The Dyslexia Support Network is a collaborative project between St. Mary's, Roehampton and Kingston universities which was set up to provide a local forum for school and college staff to share their experiences and consider ways of facilitating students' transition into HE.
The forum provides a time and place for all staff who are interested and involved with dyslexia support to share good practice and offer support to one another.
What is involved?
Members meet 3 times a year and identify topics for discussion on current issues, such as policy changes working with specific groups of students and the Disabled Student Allowance. Participating institutions take it in turn to host the meetings and invite a guest speaker to present in an area of interest. This can include: English as an Additional Language, speech development and assessment issues. For further information on the DSN (Dyslexia Support Network)

The Arts Dyslexia Trust (ADT) existed for creative Dyslexics (young and old).
The ADT still has a functioning web site
http://artsdyslexiatrust.org
This non-profit making Trust was set up with the following aims:
To help to bridge the gulf of misunderstanding that seems too often to exist between those who think predominantly in verbal terms and those who think in predominantly visual-spatial terms.
To draw attention to the high creative potential of the many visually-dominant dyslexic minds.
To encourage, instigate, and engage in research into the cause and nature of this connection between dyslexia and good visual-spatial faculties which can lead to exceptional ability and achievement in the arts and sciences (most noticeably, perhaps, in the visual arts).
To provide an advisory service for all those concerned with the above questions, most particularly in the field of education. The Trust also offers practical help to students and adults in their training and careers.
