Supporting children and young people with dyslexia and other speech and language difficulties

Supporting children and young people with dyslexia and other speech and language difficulties – how much do you know about it and do you know where to find more information, help and resources?

CUREE are carrying out a small research project trying to establish the extent to which various resources and support mechanisms about dyslexia reach those they are aimed at – school leaders and practitioners, local authority staff, parents and so on – and whether they are helpful. So we would really love to hear from you, regardless of your role, experience and expertise in supporting children and young people with dyslexia. Our survey will only take about 7-10 minutes to complete.
