A bilingual compact disc

Wednesday, April 24, 2002

A bilingual compact disc has been produced by the Welsh Dyslexia Project to give parents a multi-sensory way of understanding their child's difficulties and what they can do to help. The English-Welsh CD has been designed to complement a bilingual booklet, Guide for Parents, which was produced in collaboration with Wales Digital College. Jane Davidson, minister for education and lifelong learning, praised the work of the Project, which has also received funding from the Welsh Assembly to produce a dyslexic diagnostic test for Welsh-speaking children with special educational needs. She said, 'The commitment, research and hard work of organisations such as the Welsh Dyslexia Project are extremely valuable. The CD reflects moves to include and support parents of children with special educational needs.' For more information, contact the Project on 01239 682849.
