Dyslexia Action aims to: * support improvement in education provision * provide direct support to individuals * lead the agenda for change. Dyslexia Action is the UK’s leading provider of services and support for people with dyslexia and literacy difficulties in the UK, operating in over 100 locations and has 40 years’ experience and knowledge of how best to help and support those affected by dyslexia and literacy difficulties. ==History== The charity was formed in 2005 when the ''Dyslexia Institute'' merged with ''Hornsby International Dyslexia Centre'', and was renamed as ''Dyslexia Action'' in March 2006. Under its previous title, Dyslexia Action had been providing teaching and support for dyslexic children, young people and adults, as well as specialist training for teachers, from 1972. It was initially founded as the Dyslexia Institute by Kathleen Hickey and Wendy Fisher, as a progression from the ''Surrey Dyslexia Institute'', which had been in existence since 1968.〔http://www.dyslexiaaction.org.uk/Pages/Display.aspx?IDPost=acc411cb-5657-4f37-b52e-95fe7d9a17b8〕 By 1981, the Institute had acquired 12 centres nationwide, and in 1993, the Institute began to offer its own Postgraduate Diploma course validated by Kingston University, and later York University. In February 2003 HRH Sophie, Countess of Wessex, agreed to become the organisation's Patron.〔http://www.rcslt.org/docs/bulletin/2003/0306_bulletin.pdf〕 In July 2003 the Countess opened the Institute's Head Office at Park House in Egham, Surrey. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dyslexia Action」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
