Croydon Dyslexia Association Registered Charity No. 289947 ![]()
Initial Teacher Training Campaign 1 in 10 people have dyslexia; many of these go undiagnosed and unrecognised. Often this is because teachers lack the skills to identify and support children who are dyslexic and need to be diagnosed or given extra support. Although a government report (The Rose Review (2009)) recommended that Initial Teacher Training (ITT) should include Dyslexia/SpLD, there is currently no mandatory minimum level of Dyslexia/SpLD training in Initial Teacher Training courses.The British Dyslexia Association is campaigning to remedy this by setting up a petition on the government petition website stating that there should be a compulsory module on Dyslexia. If this petition reaches 100,000 signatures then this issue will be debated in the House of Commons. The petition only runs for a year so every signature counts: your signature could make a difference, enabling teachers to help hundreds of thousands of dyslexic pupils. Please take a moment to sign BDA's petition. The Mayor's Charity Croydon Dyslexia Association has been chosen by the Mayor of Croydon, Councillor Graham Bass, to be one of the Mayor's Charities for his year as Mayor. The other is London's Air Ambulance Service. Please look at the Mayor's Charity page on this website for details of fund raising events for the Mayor's Charities ('The Mayor's Charity Appeal' Regd. Charity no. 1042479) Croydon Dyslexia Association plans to use the funds raised to help set up a specialist teaching centre for local secondary school pupils who are dyslexic. Please support these events! To find out more about CDA or for information about dyslexia, call: Helpline number 08442 49 69 49 (Please note - volunteers answer the Helpline. Try to ring during the day or in the evening, no later than 9pm) | ||
