Introduction

Patoss is a professional association of teachers of students with specific learning difficulties, for all those concerned with the teaching and support of pupils with SpLD: dyslexic, dyspraxic, ADD, and Aspergers syndrome. Membership is open to qualified teachers in SpLD and those studying for either the certificate or the diploma in SpLD.

The national Patoss organisation supports a growing network of local groups. There are twenty-two groups are active at the moment.

In Sussex two local groups have started recently: East and West.
