I just want to agree with julia my boy now 8 1/2 is being screened for dyslexia at the moment and the only reason for this screening is that his school has sent him to a naughty school for his behaviour. My boy has had issues with school since he started on his 1st IEP @ the age of 4. All behavioural issues which they’ve put down to my parenting skills,bounderys etc and not 1 teacher special needs teacher, pediotrion has once thought it could be dyslexia. I do believe its a disabily as my boy can’t work in a large group this has affected all aspects of his life and should be reconised. Because now he is just labled as naughty when its a mental problem not a choice . As the school would say my boy is choosing to behave this way (like any child chooses to misbehave constantly). I just hope that any parent that’s having issues with behaviour ask for their child to be assed as the behaviour masks the issue, as I have found out the hard way.

You are able to get benefit money such as Disability Living Allowance and Income Support as long as the Dyslexia is severe enough to be considered as a disability (e.g affects your mobility or care), or prevents you from being able to work. I have Dyspraxia which is very similar to Dyslexia and I get both of these benefits, and although I often don’t get support off any services as its a ‘hidden’ condition that doctors cant even pick up on I was told by a private psychologist who assessed me that I have a ‘disorder’ and Im eligible for Ring&Ride along with anyone with mobility issues. I also don’t have to have interviews with the job centre as its long term

hi i,ve just found out that my 11yr old son has dyslexia of all the yrs he,s attended school no teacher has picked up on this i,ve known for sometime that there has been something just not right as i have a 23yr old son aswell, My 11yr old son cant read well cant do the months of the yr cant do his alphabet and there,s no chance of him doing his time table,disability yes i think it is and should be recognised , why is it not ? because there not in a wheelchair, not using a walking stick , haven,t got a limb missing , dyslexia is the brain the information for our bodies to function , it isn,t starring us in the face so we dont want to no ,im going to do all i can for my lil boy as he has no confidence and say,s his brain has been put in upside down my god what makes a child say that, how does he feel !!! i dont no , if it wasn,t for a friend at work who has dyslexia i wouldn,t have found out my lil boy would,ve just been left sitting in a class to get on with it ,, he,s just slow and a bit lazy so the teachers have said for the last 6and a half yrs .

DSA – Disabled student allowance.
Dyslexia counts. You won’t get as much as someone with a serious disability which affects their every day life more severely, e.g. being confined to a wheel chair, as the allowance is to pay for specialist equipment to help you cope.
source, applied and got approval for mine a few weeks ago.
