The Dyslexia Advocacy Group IOM says it recognises significant progress as its petition has been placed on the Tynwald register of business for consideration in November.
The group say this “marks a key advancement in the group’s ongoing efforts to enhance educational support for pupils with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia on the Isle of Man”.
The Dyslexia Advocacy Group thanks Rob Callister MHK for his follow-up on the petition, and Ann Corlett MHK and Dawn Kennish MLC for their “advice and support”.

The petition calls for Tynwald to consider the establishment of a Select Committee to examine and report on the incidence of these learning differences and the adequacy of current educational provisions.
Group founding member, Julia Bell, highlighted the impact of community involvement: “As the news has been circulated in the media, it is now more important than ever to make our voices heard.
“By uniting as a community, we can highlight the public interest in this issue and encourage a favourable outcome that will benefit current and future generations of students on the Isle of Man.”
