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.
