Investigating the Benefits of a Dyslexia Diagnosis: A study using survey, longitudinal and administrative data to analyse the dyslexic label
The research aims to explore the ‘dyslexia’ label by looking at what teachers understand about dyslexia, what demographic factors result in an individual getting a diagnosis of dyslexia, and how diagnosis effects a child’s academic trajectory. This will be done by analysing primary survey data, the Millennium Cohort Study and Welsh administrative data.
