Dyslexia Lincs

Dyslexia Lincs Dyslexia Lincs provides dyslexia screening, assessment and specialist tuition in Lincolnshire.

Dyslexia Lincs bridges the gap that can exist between the services provided by an overstretched education system and the expectation of parents of dyslexic learners, who may be concerned that their child is either not being identified as dyslexic or, once identified, is not receiving the type or amount of specialist support that they feel is appropriate to their needs. Dyslexia Lincs is not an alt

ernative to the excellent dyslexia support provided by some schools, but gives parents of learners aged 5-18 [primary to ‘A’ Level] access to a professional ‘second opinion‘ when needed, and offers specialist tuition to supplement help provided in school. For older students [of any age], Dyslexia Lincs also provides diagnostic assessment reports for use in applications for Disabled Students’ Allowance [‘DSA’]. The services offered by Dyslexia Lincs are provided by Melanie Stephenson, a highly qualified specialist teacher/assessor with wide experience of working with dyslexic young people in both primary and secondary settings, and of assessing students for Disabled Students’ Allowance. Melanie has enhanced DBS clearance and holds full professional indemnity insurance. The services provided by Dyslexia Lincs include:

* Consultation on all aspects of dyslexia and related specific learning difficulties
* Dyslexia screening
* Dyslexia assessment
* Assessment for Access Arrangements
* Assessment for Disabled Students’ Allowance [DSA]
* Specialist dyslexia tuition

Please visit www.dyslexialincs.co.uk to learn more about the services offered, and more about dyslexia in general. If you do have any concerns about your child in relation to dyslexia or other literacy-related learning difficulty, and would like to arrange an initial discussion, please contact us in confidence.

A new report from The Sutton Trust 'Selective Inclusion', reveals a growing link between special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and socio-economic disadvantage in school admissions. It also underlines just how much change is needed if the Government is to achieve its goal of educating more children with SEND in mainstream schools...

A stark picture is emerging from new FOI data on dyslexia support in England. Fewer than half of local authorities employ specialists to assess dyslexia, and around a third offer no guidance at all to schools. Of the 151 authorities contacted, 82% responded, yet fewer than 10% could answer all questions.

The impact on pupils is significant. In 2025, only 21% of pupils with a Specific Learning Difficulty met expected standards at Key Stage 2, compared with 74% of pupils with no SEN. At GCSE, just one in five achieved Grade 5 in English and Maths, and only 39.5% reached Grade 4, compared with 72.3 per cent of pupils without SEN.

The British Dyslexia Association is calling on the government and local authorities to record dyslexia in education datasets so dyslexic children are no longer invisible in the system, and support can be properly planned and monitored.

This would make sure dyslexic learners are visible, allowing local authorities and government to track outcomes, plan services, target support, and understand where provision is working or not.

This is essential if we are serious about improving outcomes for dyslexic learners.

Please share to raise awareness and help us make a change!

To every young person being underestimated and not given the support they need:
You are not the issue.

You were never the problem.

The problem is the lack of clear pathways to diagnosis, understanding in education, and access to the right support. When we change the system, we change outcomes. Let’s keep pushing!

The British Dyslexia Association welcomed publication of the Government’s response to the consultation into post-16 level 3 and below pathways, and the announcement of nearly £800m of extra funding for post-16 education.

Exciting reforms ahead with new V (vocational) Levels joining A Levels and T Levels to broaden pathways for all learners. These changes will offer more choice and opportunities to young people, including those with dyslexia.
