Welcome to AchieveAbility

AchieveAbility is a national network formed to promote awareness of the needs of those with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia or Specific Learning Differences (SpLD) in the learning environment.

The Network is based at the University of Westminster having developed from the AchieveAbility Aimhigher National Project: a HEFCE funded activity undertaken by a group of partner organisations between October 2004 and July 2006.

The purpose of the AchieveAbility Network is to ensure that there are appropriate learning opportunities to support and enhance the continuation rates of SpLD learners across the educational sectors. To this end it initiates and participates in discussion and research, as well as developing projects, in order to mainstream equality and access issues related to the involvement of SpLD learners across sector.
