Dyslexia BBC Reports: In England schoolsare failing to diagnose at least 80% of students with dyslexia According to a BBC report families are paying up to £1000 for help and poor families are being left behind.BDA said diagnosis and support was the worst seen since government funding started in the 1980s. Published by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dyslexia and other Specific Learning Differences, the report examined the financial and attainment cost to education of students who had not been diagnosed or properly supported.It said young people were lucky enough to get a diagnosis let alone receive specialist support at all or to an adequate level. Many schools label undiagnosed pupils as lazy or ‘just a slow learner’. Parents say it is exhausting for their child to get support and input from the mainstream schools. Some parents even have to spend hundreds or thousands for resources and private tutors. BDA says funding for support is often cut or removed in the education budget for demands of the current education system.As a result of a lack of support children have “significantly poorer results and far higher incidents of disruptive behaviour”.
