A campaign group calling for better provision for students with dyslexia and other learning differences says the approval of a committee's recommendations into the matter is a 'remarkable achievement'.They ask the education department to create things like 'a clear definition' of dyslexia and also provide more specialist training for the Island's teachers.This week, despite the Council of Ministers putting forward a raft of amendments, Tynwald members approved all twelve recommendations as originally written, albeit the wording of one was slightly tweaked.In this edition of the Manx Radio Newscast, Peter Washington of the Dyslexia Advocacy Group IOM gives his reaction.
