Closed stop the dyslexia discrimination

Closed on

This Government has decided to ignore the Rose report developed to secure support for dyslexic students and specialist training for teachers .
They have now decided that spelling will be marked in G C S E exams. This will mean that students will diagnosed dyslexia will lose significant marks.
please sign this to get the government to understand that dyslexia is a disability and not an excuse.
For too many years people with dyslexia have been told that they are not intelligent.
This has to stop now before the government is allowed to let another generation fall by wayside .
