INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES OF SUPPORTING DYSLEXIA
INTERNATIONAL GUESTS WILL GATHER TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH DYSLEXIA
The UNITE 2026 International Forum brings together invited international guests and organisations from across the region and beyond to share how they support individuals who learn differently within their own countries and communities.
This special forum, held at the conclusion of Day 1, provides an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and explore innovative approaches in the fields of dyslexia, inclusive education, advocacy, intervention, and community support. Through short presentations and open discussion, delegates will gain valuable insight into the diverse ways learning differences are understood and supported around the world.
