The prestigious ceremony took place on Friday 19th October at The Waldorf Hilton Hotel in London with the award being presented by TV Personality Vanessa Feltz.

IDL Literacy won the award as the judges felt that the dyslexia programme has effectively improved the lives of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities across the UK.

Phil Wilkinson Chairman of IDLS said: “We are absolutely delighted with the recognition from NASEN who are absolute experts in the field of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND).  At IDLS we are incredibly passionate about what we do and those we help and to receive this award from NASEN is the icing on the cake.  Our IDL Literacy programme is used by around 40 000 pupils per year in over 2000 schools and continues to change the lives of those with dyslexia.”

From over 80 entries IDLS was shortlisted alongside two other organisations – Classroom Monitor and The London Grid for Learning. The judges were: Sherann Hillman MBE of National Network of Parent Carers Forums; John Lamb of BATA and Ability Magazine; Malcolm Reeve of Whole School SEND and Firmament Education; Claire Vuckovic of University of Cumbria and IncludEd; and Claire Dorer of NASS.

Phil Wilkinson concludes that this award has come at a significant time for the company saying: “We have also recently launched our IDL Numeracy programme and we look forward to improving the skills confidence and self-esteem of as many young people as possible through both of our software products.”

⭐Did you know this about the IDL Literacy distribution chart?

In the IDL Literacy programme, raw scores from the reading and spelling tests are used to generate a standard score based on the pupil’s year group. 

The standard scores displayed on the distribution chart show pupil performance relative to their peers. For example, if a child obtains a standard score of 100, they would be considered ‘average’, or performing at the same level as the majority of their peers. 📊
