There is �10 million government funding for 4000 teachers to be trained as dyslexia-SpLD Specialists. This funding was in response to the report published by Sir Jim Rose in 2009. Unfortunately this funding is due to run out in March 2011. The information for the funding can be found at http://www.thedyslexia-spldtrust.org.uk/. Also, under the 'see the difference' drop down menu on this site can be seen a video of an inspirational primary school who have set up a dyslexia unit. I hope that we can look forward to seeing more of these schools in the future.

(I have sent a letter to the head teacher of my daughters school hoping that the government funding would be of interest, unfortunately I did not receive a positive response. I am currently trying to decide how to pursue the situation).
