Rejected petition Lower the testing age for dyslexia to 7

1 in 10 people suffer from dyslexia. Significant numbers of people with dyslexia go undiagnosed and their symptoms unaddressed. Studies have shown that teachers can detect it early. If a teacher can detect as early as 7 it should be acted upon to help students with a better learning environment.

People can already be tested for dyslexia at this age, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
