Disabilities Bill is not applicable to all children
To include school-going children who are dyslexic in a bill dealing with disabilities, as suggested by Olwyn Enright of Fine Gael, is erroneous.
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty in reading, spelling and/or writing; it is not a disability. Dyslexia could be grouped with dyspraxia and attention deficit disorder, but not with disabilities such as autism.
