Adult Dyslexia Checklist

Click on the link below to try an Adult Dyslexia Screening Test. This will not give you a definite diagnosis of dyslexia, but it may give an indication that there is a possibility of dyslexia. You may then want to look into this further, either by following the information links in 'Useful Websites' or by contacting the Dyslexia Support Co-ordinator for a chat on 07793 882979.

Dyslexia Support Group

I would like to start a peer support group for learners with dyslexia. It would provide a platform for sharing experiences and investigating useful strategies for managing the effects of dyslexia. I envisage regular sessions for general discussions, with a designated teaching / learning aspect to be covered as well.

Please e-mail Lynne at lgee@northamptonshire.gov.uk if you would like to find out more about this new venture.
