Dyslexia Awareness Campaign

EDM number 453 in 1989-90, proposed by Alfred Morris on 06/02/1990.

That this House congratulates the British Dyslexia Association and its sponsors on the Dyslexia Awareness Campaign taking place in International Literacy Year; notes that one person in 25, or an average of one child in every classroom, has a specific learning difficulty in reading, writing and spelling; is concerned that only a small proportion of dyslexics have access to skilled assessment and tuition; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to take whatever measures may be necessary to enable all dyslexics to make the most of their educational opportunities and aptitudes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 143 MPs, 5 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
