Dyslexia funding

Hello
Does anyone know whether funding is available if you are dyslexic, for a sixth form student??

Have you been in touch with SENCO at your 6th form? There's also something about funding from Connexions. I will have a look for you later.
As Connexions is no longer a national service and doesn't exist in many areas it may be of little help.

OP as dyslexic you are entitled to an assessment of SEN and receive any support it recommends. It does not include any money for you though.

In my experience even when a student is identified as experiencing learning difficulties there is little funding to provide the support. The OP can use some of the free software tools to help themselves such as MyStudyBar or demo version of software like Texthelp read & Write and Inspiration.

I've found the same. At a previous college I attended, they claimed there was no money to support me. Even though there is meant to be grants for us.
