Who We Are
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. This is a newly launched website that aims to become a resource for all things dyslexia, with a special focus on adult dyslexia.
As much as 20% of the world’s population is dyslexic, meaning written words do not translate into ideas and thoughts as easily as they do for the majority of people. Adult dyslexia especially is addressed very poorly. However, there are tools and techniques that can improve outcomes for Adult Dyslexics. Dyslexic Together is a non-profit created to provide information and resources to help dyslexia sufferers improve their quality of life, as well as to educate the general population about what it means to be dyslexic.
What We Offer
If you think you or someone you love may be struggling with dyslexia, we can help you get a proper diagnosis. Our Resources page has a simple test that you can take that will give you an indication of whether you may be suffering from the condition. If you would like more detail beyond the simple test, please leave us a message on our Contact page.
Our Videos
In addition to the resources we have collected for our website, we have created many of our own videos to share personal stories about living with dyslexia.
Did you know dyslexic people are especially skilled at starting their own companies?

This resonates with Dyslexic Together founder Scott Cumming who always thought that he wasn’t smart because he found reading and writing extremely challenging. He carried that feeling with him into adulthood as he tried to help his children with their schoolwork. When he finally was diagnosed with dyslexia in his fifties, he felt that his life had been saved. His goal now is to help others find peace of mind in identifying and understanding their learning differences.
