i havent done this course Lily, is your school putting you forward for it, or are you arranging it yourself...

it may be worth talking to your Dyslexia specialist if you have one to see if they have any information on it or ideas for other courses

It's a pretty expensive and LEA recommended course. I'm being funded by school. It's a very good course, just wondered if any of you have been on it that's all.

It's another evaluation/portfolio job. Already do the testing and overlay tests. Let you know when I've completed it.
