The British Dyslexia Association proposes that course providers for Initial Tacher Training should deliver mandatory dyslexia awareness sessions. See http://nso.archive.teachfind.com/node/175600 for the Department of Education 2005 module.

At Dyslexikit, we agree that teacher training should include:

Understanding Dyslexia

The impact dyslexia has on learning

What is dyslexia friendly practice?

When should assessment be considered and initiated?

Appropriate intervention and when and how to obtain it.
