Make dyslexia a medical issue, part of medical training and funded by the NHS.
Dyslexia is recognised under the Equality Act, and can hider students academically. Having access to free diagnosis for all medical conditions is a human right. If depression is a medical issue which is part of medical training and funded by the NHS I see no reason that dyslexia is not.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the availability of support for people with dyslexia, but we're not sure exactly what you mean by "make dyslexia a medical issue".
In a response to another petition, the Government has said clearly that parents should not have to pay for a dyslexia test for their child. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
