Dyslexia Action in administration

The charity Dyslexia Action has been placed into administration, as of April this year. On the Dyslexia Action website, it states that 'on Thursday 13th April 2017, Matthew Haw and Karen Spears of RSM Restructuring Advisory LLP were appointed as administrators of Dyslexia Institute Limited t/a Dyslexia Action'. It also says Dyslexia Action training, shop and Guild will continue to operate as normal but that Dyslexia Action will no longer be providing assessment services.
