As far as I know, dyslexia is not recognised in Germany (in the sense that there is no
official provision) but dyscalculia is. I will phone the psychologist we
deal with and get the official line but certainly in class there is no
provision. At most, a child may be offered extra classes after school which
I believe have to be paid for privately.

 I spoke with Siegrun today ( physiologist)and she was astounded that there is
provision for dyslexia in HE ( in UK). In Germany the provision depends very much on
which 'county' the child is from but at most (in Saxony) a few years of
parallel teaching at primary level is offered. In general it is as I
thought - mostly private initiatives. You may find individual organisations
if you search the net but I am almost certain there is no provision at of
the sort which is provided in the UK. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
