Dyslexia – a different way of thinking

In our Intellectual property office blog, https://ipo.blog.gov.uk/ we hear from a colleague with dyslexia, who outlines how they can make a positive difference at work through their different way of thinking. Our blog is illustrated by a sea crowded with paper boats, one of which is being lifted up into blue skies by a beautiful red hot air balloon. The idea is that this symbolises the new way of thinking rising up from the norm - a metaphor for new and different thinking.

The IPO has recently been proud to achieve the British Dyslexia Association SMART award, in recognition of good practice when supporting the needs of dyslexic and neuro-diverse individuals.  Here we take a look at how colleagues with dyslexia are able to contribute positively to life and work at the IPO through their 'different way of thinking'.
