All mainstream schools have been allocated additional teaching resources to cater for children with specific learning disabilities, including dyslexia, either under the general allocation model at primary school level or though high incidence and learning support allocations for post-primary schools. Schools have access to psychological assessments through the National Educational Psychological Service or through the scheme for commissioning psychological assessments.

Funding is provided to schools for the purchase of specialised equipment and an information pack on dyslexia is available to schools. Provision for continuing professional development for teachers with additional training needs in the area of dyslexia is made through the Special Education Support Service. Funding is provided to the Dyslexia Association of Ireland which supports its information service and workshops and programmes for some children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Membership fees are a matter between the organisation and its membership.
