Hereford and Worcester Dyslexia Association run workshops on  Saturday mornings in Hereford to support students and teach them strategies to cope with dyslexia throughout school and beyond. The Charity's Tutors work to support the individual on areas they need help with.

The Hereford based workshops require additional resources such as dyslexia & reading comprehension books, educational board games, spelling resources, etc.
