Fund free NHS assessments for learning difficulties for adults

Closed 791 signatures

What the petition asks

At the moment, as an adult you have to pay for assessments to be diagnosed with Dyspraxia, and other learning difficulties.
I would like the Government to fun free testing for learning difficulties for all adults through the NHS.

I have self-diagnosed dyspraxia because I am unable to afford to get a diagnosis. People who believe they may have a learning difficulty should be able to have this assessed and diagnosed at no cost to themselves.
