Has anyone had any success in getting their local school to become a "dyslexia friendly school"? At my son's school the SENCO & head appear resistant to innovation around special needs (despite getting panned by OFSTED for their inadequacies), cry "poverty" when I try to get adequate and appropriate support (apparently my son's needs aren't "severe" enough for them!) and seem intent on lumping kids with diverse needs together for 20 minutes three times a week and keeping their fingers crossed the rest of the time?

I'm not looking for solutions I can do outside of school (already working on that), diatribes about the education system or glib demands that I home school him. I'm hoping for ideas and practical examples of what I can do to improve things for my son and others in his position at his school (thanks to The Villan for sharing his experiences with me by pm already - I'm looking to broaden out the discussion a little).

Cheers,

Nigel
