About this Questionnaire

Start with the 3 minute Dyslexia Questionnaire:

Question 1 of 15:

q-yes-btn q-no-btn

Does your child have particular difficulty with reading and spelling?

"Concerns about a child's progress can often provide accurate indicators of how well they are behaving, learning and developing as compared to other children of similar age. By nurturing their strengths and recognising areas where they appear to be struggling and then intervening early, it is possible to prevent problems such as low self-confidence, frustration and under-achievement. This screening programme provides you with an overview of a child's strengths and weaknesses with specialist on-going advice and support on how you can help." Watch the video

"Parents tell us they want to know that if their children face barriers such as a disability or a special educational need like dyslexia, they will immediately get the help they need."

Independent Review of the Primary Curriculum by Sir Jim Rose (PDF on teachernet.gov.uk)
"The report stresses the importance of identifying difficulties at an early stage and says that schools should be helped to develop effective identification processes and deploy excellent teaching interventions, so that children with literacy and dyslexic difficulties make the best possible progress."

We really welcome the new emphasis from the new coalition government: "We believe the most vulnerable children deserve the very highest quality of care. We will improve diagnostic assessment for schoolchildren, prevent the unnecessary closure of special schools, and remove the bias towards inclusion." The Coalition: our programme for government (PDF)
