Adults
Getting started
If you’re an adult with dyslexia, or think you might need an assessment, we can help.
To get you started, take a look at our information sheets:
We also have a list of qualified tutors who are available to help, and an adult network with regular meetings.
Interview between Sir Jackie Stewart and Real A
Real A, a dyslexic rapper, had a once in a lifetime opportunity to interview the legendary Scottish three-time world Formula One racing driver, Sir Jackie Stewart, President of Dyslexia Scotland, and ask him about his own personal struggles with dyslexia.

The Adult Network
The Network is a support group for people over 18 who have dyslexia.
Meetings are held four times a year at the Dyslexia Scotland office in Stirling.
As well as making new friends, the meetings mean you can:
- share your ideas and experiences
- discuss how you have overcome challenges
- talk about issues in education and employment
- learn from guest speakers
Everyone is welcome to come along, however we ask that you become a member if you plan to attend regularly. Your local branch may also hold regular meetings, as well as other activities and events.
“It was the first time people actually understood what I had gone through.”

Mock interviews for adult members
Dyslexia Scotland is one of Bank of New York Mellon's nominated charities at the Bank's Edinburgh branch. If you are a member of Dyslexia Scotland and would like to brush up on your interview skills, you can ask for a free mock interview carried out by one of the Bank's staff through their employee volunteering scheme. For further details get in touch.
