"Every Dyslexia Awards celebration evening is packed with individuals whose achievements deserve the spotlight," she stated, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these contributions.
New Categories to Celebrate Diverse Talents
This year's awards introduce two new categories: the STEMM Award, aimed at individuals over 18 who have excelled in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or medicine, and the Young Innovator Award for those aged 14-19. These additions reflect a growing acknowledgment of the diverse capabilities within the dyslexic community.
