"I am flattered to have had my work recognised in this manner, and hope to continue showing kids that their learning difficulty isn't a disability."
British ambassador Nigel Sheinwald presented the OBE during a ceremony at the embassy.
Mr Sheinwald said: "Through (Winkler), thousands of young people have seen a role model and an inspiration for overcoming their learning challenges."
The honour was presented in recognition of the star's services to children with dyslexia and special educational needs.
The UK honours system can see non-British nationals receive honorary awards for their contribution to British interests.
Honorary awards are conferred by the Queen on the advice of the UK Foreign Office.
