Abstract

The focus of the chapter is a consideration of some of the issues involved in putting the dyslexic learner at the centre if we are to make effective provision to meet needs in settings, schools and colleges. The chapter outlines: · what current law across the UK tells us about dyslexic learners’ entitlements; · the characteristics of dyslexia: · ways to address difficulties in educational institutions exemplified by provision in the early years; · why it is so important to listen to learners in terms of - children’s rights; - the learning process; · challenges in the national context that problematize putting the leaner at the centre.
