Welcome to the new WDNF web site that we hope will bring you more information, more regularly, and with more interest! Much of the site is already in place, but there are still a few gaps. So please be patient. If you find a problem, please let me know. (Ian Smythe - ian.smythe@ukonline.co.uk)

The front page will be more news, with regular updates on information received, such as new or changed web sites.

We shall also provide information on what is new here.

A) The International Dyslexia Conference 2004

B) The Adult Checklist

C) The International Advice and Help Sheets

D) New Web Sites

C) The International Advice and Help Sheets (Click the header for the link)

We have recently produced a series of single page advice sheets for parents, teachers and others interested in dyslexia. These are available as pdf files downloadable from the link provided here. We are currently looking to produce them in a variety of languages, and anybody offering to provide us with the translations of these sheets should contact Ian Smythe (ian.smythe@ukonline.co.uk)

D) Dyslexia Web Sites (Click the header for the link)

We are always interested in promoting new sites that offer free advice and information. Please mail with your details. (Ian Smythe: ian.smythe@ukonline.co.uk)

E) International Contacts (Click the header for the link)

In an attempt to foster greater collaboration, we are starting to list those persons or organisations working in a given country/region that has agreed to act as a contact point. However, we are also in contact with a number of individuals worldwide who do not wish to have their contact details listed, but which can be contacted through Ian Smythe (ian.smythe@ukonline.co.uk)
