8. British Dyslexia Association
Dyslexia is often identified in primary school. However, some people's coping strategies are so good that the dyslexic difficulties don't become apparent until much later, perhaps at secondary school or even in university or the workplace. The first step as a parent is to gain a good understanding of what dyslexia is, and how it can affect your child. You can find out more about dyslexia and co-occurring conditions using the link above.
Music and Physical Activities
Please find some links to local sports and music organisations which may be of interest to you and your child:
