AFRICAN DYSLEXIA CONFERENCE 2025.

Event Details

  • Dates: Shifting Minds, Inspiring Action
  • Dates: August 13th to 14th, 2025
  • Venue: Association International School, Accra, Ghana
  • Hosted By: African Dyslexia Organization
  • Partners: UNESCO, Ghana Commission for UNESCO, UNICEF, Black Literacy Matters, Beyond Inclusion

Across Africa, millions of children and adults face daily educational and economic barriers simply because their brains process language differently. Dyslexia and other learning differences remain largely invisible, misunderstood, and underserved within national education systems — often leading to stigma, school dropout, and underemployment.

The Africa Dyslexia Conference 2025 aims to change that narrative. As the continent’s high-level gathering focused on learning differences, this two-day event will convene over 350 delegates including education ministers, corporate executives, researchers, youth leaders, and civil society actors to elevate learning diversity as a human rights and development issue.

This conference will serve as a catalyst for regional policy reform, education transformation, and workforce inclusion, setting a new benchmark for how Africa supports its neurodiverse population. With UNESCO and UNICEF as strategic partners, the event will embed learning differences into wider conversations on literacy equity, social justice, and inclusive growth.

WHO ARE YOU TO THE CHILD ?

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is a screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in adults (Lefly & Pennington, 2000), but it can also help measure risk in children, especially before school age. Reading disability is highly heritable: about 30-60% percent of children born to a dyslexic parent will develop dyslexia. Thus, one way to estimate risk of reading disability in preschool children is to evaluate parents’ own reading history. The following questionnaire was developed using parents’ reports of their own reading history as well as actual testing of their children’s reading skills. If a parent scores high on the ARHQ, their child has a higher risk of developing a reading disability. It is important to note that the ARHQ is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis of either the parent or the child. If you have concerns about your child’s reading progress, we recommend that you contact your child’s school, a licensed child psychologist, or your child’s primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.

The Colorado Learning Disabilities Questionnaire – Reading Subscale (CLDQ-R) is a screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in school-age children (Willcutt, Boada, Riddle, Chhabildas, DeFries & Pennington, 2011). Normative scores for this questionnaire were developed based on parent-reports of their 6-18 year-old children, as well as actual reading testing of these children. Willcutt, et al. (2011) found that the CLDQ-R is reliable and valid. It is important to note that the CLDQ-R is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis. If you have concerns about your child’s reading progress, we recommend that you contact your child’s school, a licensed child psychologist, or your child’s primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.

WHAT'S YOUR GENDER?

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is a self-report screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in adults (Lefly & Pennington, 2000). The ARHQ asks adults about their own reading history and current reading habits in order to estimate the risk that they may have a reading disability. Normative scores are based on actual testing, and Lefly & Pennington (2000) found that the ARHQ is reliable and valid. It is important to note that the ARHQ is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis. If you have concerns about your reading skills, we recommend that you contact a licensed psychologist or your primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.
