The Northamptonshire Dyslexia Association (NDA) is a local Dyslexia Association based in Northampton serving towns including Corby, Daventry, Kettering, Rushden, Oundle, Towcester, Wellingborough and villages located in Northamptonshire.
Our aim is to support
the needs of dyslexic children and young people in the education sector
and adults in the workplace. We offer advice and guidance to parents,
partners and friends of dyslexics. We also work closely with a number
of local employers to raise the awareness of dyslexia within the world
of work.
IAG (Information,
Advice & Guidance)
is a free service for anyone over 20, who has less than 5 GCSEs or
not yet achieved an NVQ level 2 qualification.
It is designed to assist clients to make occupational, educational
and
training choices to manage their careers. It could help with: developing
new skills, make a career change, earn more, get more out of life and
possibly identify training and learning needs. It's about self development,
and may help to improve job prospects, get a qualification or make
the most of current employment. It can help to improve confidence and
motivation
and identify barriers and help to overcome them. We can offer a face-to-face,
confidential advice interview and can even help with CVs, interview
or job search skills if unemployed. Call us now on 01604 820 158.
As an Association we are active in raising dyslexia awareness in the workplace and have arranged events to promote understanding in local business. We have also provided information desks offering advice at libraries throughout Northamptonshire. We have successfully obtained funding that has assisted with the development of this website and investment in specialised resources for use by tutors. Our current projects include re-launching the Adult Support Group and establishing a Parents' Group. The NDA is affiliated to the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) and forms part of a network of almost 100 local Dyslexia Associations throughout the UK. We work closely in partnership with the BDA.
