Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand

About Us:

What we're doing to make a difference:

DFNZ is focused on action-oriented activities to champion change for dyslexic individuals, and on providing information, tools and resources to inspire others to do the same. Personal responsibility and empowerment are key to taking effective action, and our ongoing work is designed to encourage and support schools, teachers, support staff, parents, employers and dyslexic individuals to make a difference.
