I am a teacher myself in the secondary sector and it wasn't until about 4 years ago that I really started to appreciate the many and varied needs students have. I know that on the B.D.A. website they are seriously canvasing signatures on a petition: Sign our petition to have a compulsory module on dyslexia for Initial Teacher Training.
I really can't urge people to sign this as a matter of urgency, since I know that teacher training is focussing on the SEN Code of practice, the fact that we have to differentiate, but not what the different needs for different learning difficulties are. Since it is estimated that up to 15% of the population have Dyslexia, teachers should really be provided with the necessary training to help and support these students in their classes.
