This page tells you about meetings and courses which The Dyslexia Association or associated organisations plan for the future.
Meetings are stand alone events on a single day. Courses require more commitment. You may need to attend sessions over a period of time and there may be a course fee.
Call the Helpline (0115 924 6888) for more details of events.
