This chapter aims to give a full picture of the development of the services for pupils with dyslexia in Hong Kong from the perspectives of the major stakeholders. The successes and challenges of developing dyslexic services in Hong Kong would inspire various stakeholders and in turn shed light on the formulation of the related policies and services elsewhere.

There are four main sections in this chapter which describe the past, current and future development of the services on dyslexia.
