Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to give schools more funding to help their students to get assessed for dyslexia to help them get the highest education so children feel they have the ability to leave school with the grands to say they would like to become a Dr, nurse, work in law.

I am a mother to three children one of my children as diagnosis of ASD ADHD sensory processing disorder. I have had to fight hard to get my daughter the support she needs with her diagnosis as school always come back to me about funding. in the end, I paid for my daughter to be seen privately. I now have been told that my daughter is showing strong signs of being dyslexic and i will now have to pay again for a diagnois There are many families out there on low income and not able to pay for this.
