The Government does not collate data on the number of apprentices with dyslexia who have received support from Access for Work.

However, the overall number of people with dyslexia who are helped by Access to Work has been steadily increasing. In 2014/15, 4,560 people who reported dyslexia as their primary condition were supported by the scheme.
