Can we afford not to empower Dyslexic Thinking?
A new report launched today by my charity, Made By Dyslexia, has calculated the economic value of Dyslexic Thinking to the world – and it is staggering. It finds that Dyslexic Thinking is worth $4.5 Trillion Dollars to the global economy. But $3.2 Trillion Dollars is untapped, because only 30% of dyslexics are empowered at work.
It also finds Dyslexic Thinking is worth:
$652 Billion Dollars to the US economy
£98.2 Billion Pounds to the UK economy
Which poses the $Trillion Dollar Question: can we afford not to empower Dyslexic Thinking?
To launch the report, we have created a brilliant campaign highlighting what economies are missing out on – by not empowering dyslexic thinkers. It’s popping up all over London and across social channels too.

We’ve been proud to work with Richard and the Virgin Group since Made By Dyslexia launched in 2017. We’ve known the value of Dyslexic Thinking for a long time. In 2018, our first report found that Dyslexic Thinking matched the skills future workplaces needed. Recognising this, LinkedIn added it as a skill in 2022 – thanks to our campaign with Richard and the Virgin Group.
Last year, our Intelligence 5.0 report showed that the intelligence the world needs now has changed and we launched the University of Dyslexic Thinking to help teach it.
