Jeanette Lyons of the British Dyslexia Assocation is enquiring about dyslexic adult experiences of asking PACT for grants for equipment, IT and other, to enable them to do their jobs in their workplace, or to obtain employment. We understand that PACT - Placement, Assessment and Counselling Teams based in UK Local Employment Services, can help employers of disabled adults with funds for equipment, and can suggest suitable jobs and training courses to unemployed disabled adults. Jeanette would like to collect case studies of successful and unsuccessful applications. I would be grateful if you would send brief details to me, for Jeanette to follow up as she wishes. Please include: Where in the country you are? Successful/not successful? Equipment requested? How Jeanette can contact you for further details?
