Dyslexia Action has gone into administration

apologies if you see this more than once. DA has gone into administration suddenly yesterday. I am one of the psychologists who did work on a self employed basis for them. I just wanted to let people know who may have tuition or assessments booked because there is no one there anymore to let people know and I thought people may just turn up at the centres. Psychologists and teachers are still available for work so contact me for more details. This came completely out of the blue and I really feel for people who have paid up front for services.

Your link doesn't work @emilydmm

Yes you can. We have set ourselves up as a separate entity in Wales with assessors and tutors. Www.dyslexiaaction.wales.
I also do spld assessments for children and adults for exam access arrangements etc and can be contacted via email [email protected]. I cover the south and Wales.

So many parents will be left not knowing where to go for support and yet people are out there to help. People can also seek refunds for tuition and assessments through their card companies. Hope this is useful

You can find local specialist SpLD assessors and teachers through the patoss website.

Didn't realise. I use their shop a lot so thanks for posting this. Such a shame.

Yes I think the training arm is being sold off so that is still running

Yes I saw this news yesterday. I am busy with a dyslexia course with them so will have to see how that pans out! Really sorry for all those that work there as I think that have around 200 staff.
Am I correct in understanding that they will still continue with their courses?
