Dyslexia Services for Children 

Dyslexia is a common learning difference that primarily affects skills involved in reading, writing, and spelling. It does not reflect intelligence, many children with dyslexia are bright, creative, and capable, but learn in a different way.

Dyslexia affects around 1 in 10 people. It can occur in children of all backgrounds and abilities and often runs in families. Boys and girls are equally affected, though it is sometimes identified more frequently in boys.

Every child is different, but some common signs include: • Difficulty learning letter sounds • Struggling to read or spell words accurately • Avoiding reading or writing tasks • Mixing up letters or sequences • Slow processing or difficulty following instructions

Dyslexia is usually identified through a formal assessment carried out by a qualified specialist teacher or psychologist. This involves: • Standardised tests. •  Gathering background and developmental information from school and home. • Examining learning information e.g. progress reports/details of any previous intervention learning behaviours. • Analysis of strengths and difficulties. A full diagnostic assessment provides a detailed report with tailored recommendations to support your child.
