Welcome to the Pembrokeshire Dyslexia Association

We are a local self help group based in Pembrokeshire. We aim to increase awareness in Pembrokeshire of the problems faced by children and adults who are dyslexic. We also aim to provide support and advice for the parents and families of dyslexic children and adults.

Come and have some FUN

Our popular annual fun day is to be held on the 22nd November 2008 at the Camrose Community Centre (Pelcomb Cross). Lots of fun activities for children including face painting, hair braiding, leather working and featuring 'Saffron' the listening dog (bring along your favorite book). We also have the Pembrokeshire Activity Bus, a craft fair and lots of information on Dyslexia and the help available. Make it a date. Full details here
