services	for	dyslexic people of all ages, their families, carers, educators, employers, and the wider
community.		The	principal objective that underpins our work is to enrich the lives of all people	with
dyslexia	by	educating and informing the general public about it and assisting children and adults		with
dyslexia to reach			their full potential.
Activities	to complete TDA goals
The Association			offers a number ofservices to its clients; these are summarised briefly below.
Helpline			Afree, confidential service that acts as the first point ofcontact for many clients
			through a phone call, website enquiry or social media such as Facebook. Cafiers
			only pay the standard operator call charges.
			Helpline advisors, who are dyslexia qualified specialists, provide information,
			advice, and guidance on all aspects ofdyslexia and other associated specific
			learning dNicutties, as well as information about the paid-for services, the
			Association offers.
			The service is usually available weekdays from 09:30until 16:30,although these
			hours reduced during the pandemic due to staff furlough arrangements. We hope
			to increase them later in 2021 as staffing resource becomes available.
			Approximately 50%of calls to the Helpline are from adults and employers, with
			the remainder being initiated by parents and schools.
Advice			These are generally provided free ofcharge to dyslexic clients and families as a
Sessions			service to de-brief diagnostic assessments and to provide Assistive Technology
			advice or by way ofa pre-tuition interview. A voluntary donation towards the cost
			ofthe advice sessions is appreciated but is not a mandatory requirement
Screening			The service is available for both adults and children to identify indicators of
			dyslexia or dyscalculia. Online screenings are a low-cost chargeable service that
			can provide helpful insight into general areas of difficulty and include a
			recommendation as to whether a formal diagnostic assessment is required.
Diagnostic			A definitive diagnosis ofdyslexia for any individual requires a full diagnostic
Assessments			assessment to be carried out by a competent and suitably qualified professional.
			The assessment itself will explore a range of skills and cognitive processing
			capabilities. The resultant report will provide details on the nature and severity of
			any difficulties identified and make recommendations as to how to best support
			the individual moving forward.
Exam			This assessment is for students who require written evidence and
Access			recommendations for Exams Access Arrangements. These can now be provided
Assessments			remotely.
Workplace			This is an impartial assessment cerned out in the workplace by a qualified &
Needs			experienced dyslexia specialist. Its purpose is to identify solutions to work-related
Assessments			difficulties experienced by an employee in carrying out their job that arise
			because oftheir disability.
Workplace			This service is principally concerned with support and training in Assistive
Support and			Technology and Coping Strategies in the workplace.
