Special Educational Needs Coordinators or SENCOs
This link has been added to widen the scope of our website. Its role has two main purposes:
- To provide information for SENCOs about how the CDA can work with them to support dyslexic learners in school and in particular the Dyslexia Friendly Schools' Quality Mark.
- To inform others of the valuable role of the SENCO within the mainstream school.
We would like to invite SENCOs to give us their contact details so that we may keep them up to date with events and information which could aid them in their role.
Please contact us if you would like us to add your details on: enquiries@cornwalldyslexia.org.uk or phone Sally on: 01726 69336
