Each workshop group is run as a collaborative project with our local dyslexia association. The objective is to help at least 20 children per group, of whom half come from areas of deprivation. The pattern for these workshops has been set up and there is a Project Officer within the BDA staff who is developing the workshops in different parts of the country.
