Dyslexia can be hard to cope with sometimes, which is why it is so fortunate that there are many support groups open and easily accessible to the public. Support groups are great tools to help someone talk about their problems, ask questions about different ways to make dealing with difficulties easier, and a great way to make friends.

I am dyslexic and dyspraxic. I am often asked about assistive technology in the group because it’s something that I have used to support myself through university and still use as a graduate in my day to day life.

Learning about different ways to cope with the difficulties of Dyslexia can be truly beneficial in the long run. Support groups are a great place to learn from others on the many different ways to make life a little easier. For example, for certain types of dyslexia, speech-to-text apps could be a tremendous help, and if you are not familiar with this, then there would more than likely be someone who is in a support group.

Key takeaways

  1. Dyslexia Help and Support UK is a Facebook group.
  2. The group has no advertising.
  3. The group is a place for specialists and parents to connect.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
