Joseph Appiah Launches Dyslexia Audiobook at University of Ghana

Music producer Joseph Appiah has launched “My 1st Creative Dyslexia Audiobook,” a project aimed at nurturing the creative talents of individuals with dyslexia worldwide.

The launch event took place on December 5, 2025, at the Music Department of the University of Ghana in Accra. The audiobook is designed to provide guidance and support to dyslexic learners through a tailored educational resource.

Dr. Benjamin Amakye-Boateng, Head of the Music Department, received a copy of the audiobook on behalf of the School of Performing Arts. He emphasized the importance of inclusive education, stating, “Every student must have the chance to develop through their strengths.”

Mr. Appiah and his team are planning a promotional tour to raise awareness about the audiobook and its benefits. The producer, formerly known as Quick Action, has a personal connection to the cause, having experienced dyslexia himself.

This initiative builds on Appiah’s previous advocacy work, including the launch of “DYSLEXIA IS NOT DISABILITY” on the BBC’s ‘Focus on Africa’ two years ago. He also undertook a cultural exchange programme at King’s College London in 2023.

During his time in the United Kingdom, Appiah studied alongside local students, gaining insights into different educational approaches. He also participated in the Art Emergency Workshop, which aimed to enhance his expertise in talent development across Africa and the globe.

Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that affects reading, writing, and language processing. It is important to note that dyslexia is not linked to intelligence; individuals with dyslexia often possess normal or above-average intellectual abilities but face challenges in recognizing words, spelling, or reading fluently. The condition stems from differences in how the brain processes language, and common signs include slow reading speed, spelling difficulties, letter reversals, and challenges with following instructions.
