We are The Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic Pupils
Our aim is to help parents and also those who advise them choose an educational establishment for children with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD).

Who we are
CReSTeD helps parents and those who advise them choose the right school or teaching centre for children with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD).
We were founded in 1989 and remain a dyslexia charity.
We recognise that dyslexia often occurs alongside other difficulties, including:
- Dyscalculia
- Dyspraxia
- ADD or ADHD
- Pragmatic and semantic language difficulties
Information & Advice
We are a small charity with limited funds. We cannot reach all 23,000 UK schools. We know there may be excellent support close to you that is not yet on our list.
We do not claim the Register is the only source of information. There are other trusted organisations you can use – we list the ones we know on our website.
You may already have a school in mind or want your child to stay with their friends. You just want to be sure the school can help.
