European Dyslexia Association Questionnaire: The Rights of Dyslexic Children

Presented paper describes the rights of dyslexic children in Europe (more details
concern Polish pupils). It includes the results of The European Dyslexia Association
Questionnaire on rights of dyslexic children conducted in co-operation with associations
gathered in European Dyslexia Association in years 2002-3. Additional data
were also gained from International Dyslexia Association (USA). All EDA Members
were invited to take part in the survey, 19 of which replied. Participating Associations
provided details on the legal and educational situation of dyslexic children in their
countries on the basis of the questionnaire prepared by Marta Bogdanowicz (edited
by Alan Sayles). It consisted of 39 items (mostly multiple choice questions) organised
into 2 sections (The Rights of Dyslexic Children in Law; The Rights of Dyslexic
Children in School).
The survey provided very interesting results. It appeared that although nearly all the
countries represented by Associations signed The UN Convention on Rights of the
Child (1989), the situation of dyslexic children in most of them is not satisfying yet.
The level of awareness of dyslexia-related problems is described mostly as poor
(no one used the phrases “excellent” or “very good”). Both legal and educational
situation of dyslexic pupils differs significantly in various countries. In some of them
certain special rights for dyslexic at school are provided (ca 70% of respondents
claimed to have such privileges), but they are not respected everywhere and in the
full range (only in 60% of cases they were guaranteed by law). Generally it may be
stated that not all the dyslexic pupils are treated as children with Special Educational
Needs. The gathered material can be a good pattern for these countries where legislation
for dyslexic pupils is not appropriate. It seems necessary to gather and keep
adding new, up-to-date information to the present material in the future.
Detailed results can be found in a book: Marta Bogdanowicz, Alan Sayles (2004)
Rights of the Dyslexic Child in Europe. Gda´sk, Harmonia (see EDA NEWS Vol.11,
No.1, May 2005).
