HC Deb 01 July 1971 vol 820 c173W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether there are any special schools in and around the county of Bedfordshire for dealing with dyslexic children; what provision is made for children affected by dyslexia in areas where special schools do not exist; and whether grants are available to assist children to overcome their disability.

Mr. van Straubenzee

There are no special schools specifically for dyslexic children. Remedial education for children with reading difficulties, including those considered dyslexic, is usually provided in the ordinary school setting; but some local education authorities pay the fees of pupils attending centres run by other organisations or independent schools.
