About this Support Category
Dyslexia support can help people understand and manage difficulties with reading, spelling, writing, processing speed, working memory, organisation or confidence with learning. Support may be useful for children, young people and adults with dyslexia, suspected dyslexia or related specific learning differences.
Families may look for dyslexia support when a child is struggling at school, needs specialist teaching, requires evidence for education planning, or needs help with literacy, confidence or learning strategies. Adults may look for dyslexia support for work, study, assessment, workplace adjustments or everyday organisation.
Services may include:
- Dyslexia support for children, young people or adults
- Dyslexia tutoring, specialist teaching or literacy support
- Dyslexia assessment or screening where offered by the provider
- Support with school, study, workplace or confidence needs
- Advice for parents, carers, schools or employers where appropriate
- Charity, community or peer support for dyslexia and related learning differences
If you are looking for direct learning support, you may also want to view SEN Tutoring & Specialist Education. If you need broader education advice, visit Education Consultants & SEN Advisors.
When choosing a dyslexia support provider, check their experience, qualifications, assessment approach where relevant, age range, fees, availability and whether the service is suitable for your needs.

Finding the Right Dyslexia Support
The right dyslexia support will depend on age, needs, location, confidence, learning profile and whether support is needed for school, study, work, assessment or everyday life.
Some providers focus on dyslexia tutoring, literacy support or specialist teaching, while others offer assessment, adult dyslexia support, workplace guidance, parent advice, charity-led resources or broader SEND support. The right service will depend on the type of help needed and the provider’s experience.
This section is most relevant where families or individuals are looking for dyslexia-related support, guidance, tutoring, assessment or information, rather than general tutoring or unrelated education services.
Before contacting a provider, consider whether you need:
- Dyslexia support for a child, young person or adult
- Specialist teaching, literacy support or dyslexia tutoring
- Dyslexia assessment, screening, advice or reports
- Support linked to school, SEND, EHCPs, exams, study or work
- Online, in-person, local, regional or national support
- Information about fees, qualifications, availability and follow-up support
Find Support UK does not provide diagnosis, clinical, legal or education advice. Always check provider details directly and consider speaking with a school, GP, educational psychologist, specialist teacher or appropriate adviser if you are unsure which support route is suitable.
