This report arises from an action research project funded jointly by the BDA and the Frank Buttle Trust. It started in late autumn of the year 2000 and ran for two years in five LEAs in the south west region. Its focus was on action based approaches to address the problems facing parents when trying to establish and meet the needs of dyslexic children in school.
The BDA funded a development officer to advise and support parents who were experiencing difficulty in obtaining appropriate provision for their child whilst also promoting the idea of dyslexia friendly schools (DFS).
The Frank Buttle Trust funded a research fellow who was based at the School for Education and Life Long Learning at Exeter University who would carry out in depth case analyses of children as seen mainly through the eyes of their mothers, over a two year period.
In parallel with this, a second strand of research set out to monitor the demands made upon the time and expertise of the independent Development officer appointed by the BDA.
The report is written by Carol Griffiths, Brahm Norwich and Bob Burden from Exeter University.
