In 2009, the Scottish Government, Dyslexia Scotland and the Cross Party Group on Dyslexia in the Scottish Parliament agreed a working definition of dyslexia:<\/p>\n

\u201cDyslexia can be described as a continuum of difficulties in learning to read, write and\/or spell, which persist despite the provision of appropriate learning opportunities. These difficulties often do not reflect an individual\u2019s cognitive abilities and may not be typical of performance in other areas\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bitesize below gives an overview of Dyslexia including a definition, strengths and areas of development and ideas of supports that can be put in place.<\/p>\n
