Welcome to Prosiect Dyslecsia Cymru/Welsh Dyslexia Project site
Prosiect Dyslecsia Cymru /Welsh Dyslexia Project's aim is to make Wales the best country in the world in which to be a dyslexic individual.
This web site is to help both dyslexic individuals and their parents, wider family, friends and teachers access helpful information and technology.
This site will have information from around the world. In September 2000, the Welsh Dyslexia Project made a presentation at the Assembly which included its Vision in respect of resources, schools, training and policies. Since then we have been using it as a framework for action, for developing tools and training to make a difference where it matters. Our vision is to make Wales the best place in the world for the dyslexic individual. However, being better than others does not mean everything is being done that can be done. Our aim is to create a level playing field in the community, in school and in the working environment. By continuing to strive for improvement we shall not only ensure that every dyslexic individual in Wales is given the best opportunity to demonstrate their potential but also show the world that given the correct environment, everybody can succeed.

Joint workshops for parents, grandparents, carers, guardians and young dyslexics:We aim to run these workshops entitled 'Supporting the Dyslexic Child' at various venues across Wales. They are specifically designed to meet the needs of parents and dyslexics by recognising that they want and need support and advice on a multitude of matters from raising self-esteem to understanding how different learning styles affect literacy and numerical development. These will be held during school holidays and weekends, and we welcome communities and individuals wishing to participate in our project. These workshops will be held over the next 24 months. Workshops will be available through the medium of both Welsh and English. Some may offer residential accommodation. Also, if you know of any tutors in Wales experienced in both dyslexia and in teaching adults, in a friendly, relaxed and caring environment, who might be interested in joining our pool of tutors, please let us know. Course Principal Tutor: Neil Mackay. IF YOU WISH TO HAVE A WORKSHOP IN YOUR AREA, PLEASE CONTACT US.
A minimum of 12 parents and dyslexic child /individual is required to make each workshop feasable.

Cwrs Preswyl Prosiect Dyslecsia Cymru Cafodd pymtheg o ddisgyblion blynyddoedd 7, 8 a 9 o ysgolion Uwchradd Ceredigion a Sir Benfro amser wrth eu bodd yng Ngwersyllt yr Urdd yn Llangrannog dros dri diwrnod yn ystod hanner tymor. Bu cyfle i fanteisio ar holl gyfleusterau’r Gwersyllt, a chafwyd llawer o hwyl a sbri wrth fynd allan ar y ceffylau â’r beiciau modur, nofio, defnyddio’r llethr sgïo, chwarae gemau, edrych ar ffilm ag ymlacio a rhannu sgwrs cyn mynd I’r gwely. Ond roedd pwrpas addysgiadol i’r cwrs hefyd. Cafwyd gyflwyniad diddorol o wahanol ddulliau o fedru cofnodi nodiadau, gwybodaeth, ffeithiau, ysgrifennu creadigol ac ati, a sesiwn ar wahanol ddulliau o oresgyn trafferthion sillafu gan Dilwyn Owen(Athro Technoleg Gwybodaeth) a Catrin Davies(Cydlynnydd Anghenion Addysgu Ychwanegol) o Ysgol Gyfun Bro Morgannwg. Bu’r plant, hefyd, yn ymwneud â’r defnydd o ‘fapiau meddwl’ a gweithgareddau adeiladu tîm. Roedd y gweithgareddau adloniant â’r chwaraeon wedi rhoi boddhâd mawr i’r plant ac roeddent wedi cael llawer o fudd drwy ddysgu mewn amgylchedd anffurfiol, gynhaliol. Mae’r sylwadau a roddodd y plat yn y bocs didwyll yn dweud y cwbl: “rwyf wedi cael hwyl yn Llangrannog” “ rwyf eisiau dod eto’. Nodyn Hwn oedd y cwrs preswyl cyfrwng Cymraeg cyntaf a gynhaliwyd gan Prosiect Dyslecsia Cymru. Noddwyd y cwrs gan gronfa Plant Mewn Angen a chafwyd cymorth gwerthfawr gan grŵp o fyfyrwyr Coleg Prifysgol y Drindod, Caerfyrddin.Bwriedir trefnu dau gwrs pellach, yn ystod y cyfnod o fis Mai tan ddiwedd Awst, sef un ar gyfer plant dyslecsig ym Mlynyddoedd 5 a 6 yn yr Ysgol gynradd, a’r llall ar gyfer disgyblion Blwyddyn 7,8 a 9 yn yr Ysgol Uwchradd. Felly os oes gennych ddiddordeb, cysylltwch a Non Edwards (Cydlynnydd Gweithdai a Chynadleddau Prosiect Dyslecsia Cymru) mor gynteg a phosibl.
