Dyslexia Wales is included as a Wales-specific dyslexia information and support route for Swansea families comparing assessment and support options.
For Swansea, local context matters: Swansea families often need dyslexia and SpLD reports that work in the Welsh ALN context, school ALNCo or IDP discussions, DSA, exam access, higher education and workplace adjustment routes across South Wales. Families and adults should confirm whether the assessor holds appropriate dyslexia assessment credentials, whether the report follows SASC/APC guidance where relevant, and whether it will be accepted for school, college, university, workplace, DSA, Access to Work or exam-access purposes.
