"Dyslexia" means "difficulties with words" - reading, writing and spelling. It can involve difficulties with maths, problems with organisation and study skills, and some motor difficulties. It affects all social groups and people of all intellectual abilities.
We can offer a free assessment of your educational needs and free one to one support from a dyslexia specialist while you are on a Camden Jobtrain programme. The sessions are at Camden Jobtrain at 301, Kentish Town Road, and the NTV project in Regis Road.
Private assesment and support could otherwise cost over £300 / £30 per hour!
