White Rose Dyslexia Centre was established in June 2009 with a specific mission and focus to raise awareness of dyslexia and support businesses, educationalists and the public sector in enabling dyslexics to demonstrate and achieve their potential.
As well as private individuals seeking assessments, their clients include the NHS, City Councils, Home Office, North Yorkshire Police, Universities, Colleges, Training Providers, Schools and the Prison Service.
The Dyslexia Centre chose to relocate its business to Aizlewood’s Mill at the end of May this year, so to celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Week they are offering half day Dyslexia Awareness training sessions, at no cost, for businesses located within Aizlewood’s Mill.
The events will take place in the Conference Room here on Tuesday 4th December (am) and Thursday 6th December (pm).
