About ADC 2027

Africa's gathering for dyslexia and learning differences.

The Africa Dyslexia Conference brings together educators, policymakers, researchers, professionals, families and people with lived experience to move the conversation on dyslexia, dyscalculia and related learning differences beyond awareness — into classrooms, homes and policy.

Rooted in African experience and informed by global research, ADC 2027 is organised by the Africa Dyslexia Organisation.
