How much training do teachers get for dyslexia?

[lily5049]

I am wondering if there are any teachers out there, or if anyone knows about how much training non specialised teachers get on dyslexia? It seems from my research that they don't get that much!

Just wondering if anyone had any information about it. Feel they are given a very basic training and nothing that comes with the emotional side of dyslexia which is the most important part! Any comments or information would be useful!

Thank you!

I've worked in two schools and I've never known the staff get any training on dyslexia. Although the SENCO may be a bit more clued up.

Whatever it is you want to know you might find out from here:

General teacher training ? Nothing.

Very little.
