| ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDERS | DYSLEXIA | DYSPRAXIA | PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATIONSummary: A look at the Dyscovery Centre in Cardiff, Wales which is attempting to fill the gap between health and education services in the United Kingdom. Anyone can apply for loan assessment and an information pack is sent to all enquirers. A programme is devised which may require weekly attendance or be administered at home with less frequent visits. Programme content varies and treatment takes into account emotional and psychological needs of the child and parents. At present the centre operates two days a week but the pressure is on to establish a full service as soon as possible. Awareness days are held for teachers and parents which are in great demand. It is planned to open seven or eight other centres in the UK to avoid the long distances for assessment.
