Local Dyslexia Associations

Local Dyslexia Associations (LDAs) are independently registered charities. They have helplines, befrienders and computer co-ordinators. They hold meetings with speakers and workshops, run courses, and have literature for sale and for borrowing. LDAs know of local facilities for assessment and tuition.

General Helpliners answer all enquiries, unless there is an Adult helpliner as well. An answerphone may refer you to a rota duty number. The phone and e-mail may belong to different people. Most of the Helpliners are volunteers, using family phones, with limited time, so please respect the times given.

The Local Dyslexia Associations are listed in order of county.

Please note: the British Dyslexia Association does not endorse methods, materials or institutions.
