Wikipedia:WikiProject Dyslexia/support by country

We are gathering information per country so that we can create more support by country articles.

please add any information, documentation references etc as you find it for each country.

We have initially started list of Country Sections just to get the project started.

Some basic information can be found at DITT

If the county you have information for does not already have a section then please create a new section specifically for that country.
