BDA Survey on the Need for Local Dyslexia Services

The British Dyslexia Association are designing new local dyslexia services in our 'Local Hubs' pilot project. We would like the dyslexic community to tell us what kinds of services you would find helpful.

This information will also help the existing network of Local Dyslexia Associations affiliated with the BDA.

This survey can be completed by people with dyslexia or family members of a child with dyslexia (or undiagnosed). It takes about 5 minutes.

To complete this survey over the phone, please call 0333 405 4555 ext 551, if you leave your name and number in a voicemail you will get a call back.

Thank you for your valuable input.
