Dyslexia/Dyscalculia

Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit

The Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit is a free comprehensive online resource for all who are involved in the identification and support of learners aged 3-18 years who are showing signs of literacy difficulties. The Toolkit was redesigned and launched on 8 March 2017 by John Swinney MSP, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Education & Skills and our President Sir Jackie Stewart OBE.

One of the recommendations in the 2014 Education Scotland report ‘Making Sense: Education for Children and Young People with Dyslexia in Scotland’ was that Dyslexia Scotland should work with local authorities and schools to encourage all teachers to be familiar with, and make appropriate use of, the Toolkit
