Improving diagnosis of dyslexia could be achieved by employing Specialist Teachers who are trained to assess children for dyslexia.

Too many children are being left behind, or thought of as lazy, due to dyslexia. Class teachers are generally not trained to spot dyslexia.

Dyslexic children deserve better!
