The Dyslexia Myth is a Myth Say Government
For the first time in years the UK Government has said something sensible about education. From Yesterday in Parliament in the Guardian:
“The government rejected the claim that dyslexia does not exist, put forward in a Channel 4 Dispatches programme entitled “The Dyslexia Myth”. The junior education minister Lord Adonis said: “The very title of that programme gave rise to understandable anxiety that children’s needs might no longer be recognised and supported. It is important that we reassure parents that this is not the case.”“.
