Rejected petition Get schools and local boroughs to recognise dyslexia as a disability

I am 45 yr old dyslexic who received absolutely no help for my condition . I was even told once at primary school that I would never even be a dustman as I wouldn't be able to read the street signs! Now I have a daughter and a son both with suspected dyslexia and no one will recognise it!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. The law already requires schools and local councils to provide support for children with special educational needs. You may find this information from the British Dyslexia Association helpful:

If you would like the law to be changed, you could start a new petition asking clearly for the specific change you want.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
