This academic year has just been terrible for children especially for children with dyslexia. As we move into the summer holidays, what support for your child’s dyslexia can you expect to ask for from your school or Local Authority in September? Nicole Lee, from SEN Legal Ltd wants to answer your questions for free in our latest webinar.

So let me tell you why I am setting up this latest free webinar…

I have many conversations with parents of dyslexic kids. I am often told about how difficult it is to get support here in the UK Education System. I hear lots of stories about misleading information being given to parents because of a number of reasons.

Some of these include:

Some school professionals simply do not have enough training to know what to do to support the learning needs of a dyslexic child in a classroom,
Lack of awareness of support available for a child with dyslexia,
The support of a dyslexic child is a lesser priority than that of managing a class,
Some Local Authorities really do not want children with dyslexia to access funding for support from them as their needs are not deemed to be significant enough versus more obvious ‘disabilities’ that other children may be experiencing.
Parents are not fully aware of their legal right for support for their child or that they can apply for Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP).

We almost have a perfect storm with misleading information floating about regarding dyslexia support in school and parents not confidently knowing what their rights are to request support resulting in children growing up not believing in themselves and unlocking their potential.

For me, I want dyslexic children and young people to believe in how their unique way of thinking could change the world, I want them to approach life with self-belief so that their strengths can shine and their weaknesses supported effectively.
