Dyslexia and related learning differences, such as dysgraphia (difficulty with writing), dyspraxia (challenges with motor skills), and dysphasia (difficulty with language processing), can affect many children and often lead to long-term challenges for their families. A survey by OpinionWay, conducted on behalf of Poppins (a digital platform supporting children with these learning differences) and FFDys (the French federation for dyslexia-related disorders), highlights that accessing a diagnosis and appropriate care is often difficult. On average, the first diagnosis of a dyslexia-related disorder occurs at age 7, but the path to care can be long. Nearly a quarter of parents say they still lack a solution, and 12 percent have not received a definitive diagnosis. Overall, 38 percent of parents have waited at least a year for care, or are still waiting. Parents cite several obstacles in accessing the help their children need. Nearly all (94 percent) have faced at least one barrier, with the most common being the lack of available professionals (73 percent), long delays in treatment (51 percent), and insufficient information (43 percent). Many families are unaware of support systems like the Coordination and Orientation Platforms (PCO), which help connect children with appropriate services. Almost half of parents of children under 12 with dyslexia-related disorders do not know about these platforms, and only 13 percent of affected children have used them. At school, these learning differences can have a significant emotional and academic impact. According to parents, 94 percent say their child is often exhausted by the effort required in class, with 64 percent saying this happens very often. Homework frequently causes tension for 84 percent of families. Worse still, 75 percent of parents report that their child feels devalued, believing themselves "useless" or "incapable." Many children also face teasing; nearly a third of parents (31 percent) say their child often complains about it, and this rises to 39 percent among children who have not yet received care. While many children benefit from accommodations like a Personalized Support Plan or a Personalized Schooling Project, these are not always consistently applied. More than a third of parents report that these accommodations are missing or rare during exams, class changes, or teacher interactions. These challenges can have lasting effects. Among adults with dyslexia-related disorders surveyed, 91 percent say their condition affected their school experience, with some reporting lower education levels than their abilities, early school dropout, or experiences of bullying. Caring for a child with a dyslexia-related disorder can also disrupt family life. About 61 percent of parents had to adjust their work schedules or routines, with some switching to remote work, part-time jobs, or temporarily stopping their careers. The financial strain is also significant, with 76 percent of parents reporting a financial impact, and 22 percent spending over 1,000 euros annually out of pocket. As a result, 44 percent of parents have had to skip a treatment or assessment due to financial constraints. Parents are calling for better insurance coverage for care and mandatory training for teachers on dyslexia-related disorders, as these are the two priorities most frequently cited.
