[senco-forum] Specialist teacher

Yes you're right Alice. The BDA started out as a charity in support for
parents and to raise awareness of dyslexia and its strength has developed
over the years. I should point out that I greatly value the BDA, it
certainly provided me with a life saving wealth of support and advice when I
sought help both as a parent and as a professional. I was an active member
of  my local BDA for years.

 I used PATOSS to point out that there are many other good charitable/
professional bodies out there. What happens when they all demand their own
accreditation for courses? 

Jean, I wish there were more courses and qualifications for LSA's.  So many
LSA's are worth their weight in gold.  Maybe the qualifications they get
could be described in some other form that shows BDA approval, that wouldn't
get confused with those with teacher status. I know qualified teachers with
RSA. Dip  but don't have AMBDA status, where does that leave them?

Cheers

Sheridan
