Closed Fund schools so they are able to assess children for dyslexia and dyscalculia

Closed on

At school I struggled with maths. I asked to be tested at school for dyscalculia but they said they didn't have funding, I wasn't tested until college. I was also tested for dyslexia and I have both. Schools should fund assessments for dyscalculia and dyslexia so children have more help with exams.

- Dyslexia - causes problems with reading and writing. (http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Dyslexia/Pages/Introduction.aspx)

- Dyscalculia - specific learning difficulty for mathematics. (http://www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/dyslexic/dyscalculia)
