Dyslexia is a difficulty in the acquisition of reading and writing that affects 10% of the population. The difficulties are lifelong, and there is a strong genetic component. This means that not only are there many dyslexic children, but also the main care providers, the parents, are often dyslexic too. Support for the dyslexic individual is very variable across Europe, with some countries supplying in-school provision, while in other places it is the parents who have to take responsibility for all support. Even where these is some form of school support, there is still the need to provide support at home, from helping with homework and organising school bags to direct help with literacy learning. To do this, the parents need to be empowered. Project Dyspare aims to develop a course for parents of dyslexic individuals, to provide information, support, guidance and resources. The course will be delivered through a combination of workshops and online resources. It will build upon the experiences in other projects. For example, Dystrain (a Minerva project led by the Welsh Dyslexia Project) provided the basis of a CD based e-learning course, but is not available online. One of the project conclusions was that workshops would be far better for parents. However, this has never been implemented in any project.Dyspare wants to complete this empowering process offering “tailor made” activities for parents. In this way parents and teachers will be two complementary actors working around the same core problem, sharing the same mission: “make easier the learning process for dyslexic child”.
