Dyslexia Guild Annual Online Conference – 1 July 2026

We are excited to announce our Dyslexia Guild Annual Online Conference, which will be held on Wednesday 1 July 2026.

The conference offers the opportunity a to hear expert views and examine current topical issues relating to dyslexia and other SpLDs.

You’ll have the chance to listen to our four keynote speakers, who will be providing a range of different presentations to suit all of us. You will learn about current work at the University of Edinburgh, focussing on the heritability of dyslexia and how genetics interact with our environment. For those of us who carry out assessments for disabled student allowance, or work to support students in further and higher education, you will also hear about changes in how students with SpLDs are supported in this setting. We will also find out about current research at King’s College, London, where attitudes towards ADHD have been measured and where we learn more about the link between positive self-views in adults with ADHD and general mental health. The day will end with a presentation about orthographic processing, a feature of dyslexia that has been the focus of recent attention, and a factor that we are keen to explore further to help us in our assessment processes. 

Why not benefit from taking time out of your daily schedule to learn and reflect on cutting-edge practice.

You will also gain a 5-hour CPD attendance certificate (1.5 hours of which is SASC accredited) when attending this event.

Our online conference is open to everyone, however, you can attend at a discounted rate if you are a Dyslexia Guild member. Our membership body is open to all those with a professional or general interest in dyslexia and specific learning difficulties (SpLD).

Don’t worry if you cannot watch the live event, still book and you will receive access to the presentations, recordings and a CPD Certificate.
