| The Hon. Evarist Bartolo, Minister of Education and National | Culture recently inaugurated the Specified Learning Difficulties Service within the Education Division thereby bestowing official recognition on a problem which causes much anxiety to parents, children and teachers and often tend to go unnoticed. |
| An evening of talent was organised by the Education Division during | which children from a cross section of schools in Malta shared their talents in singing and dancing and demonstrated their improved reading skills. The Minister then presented prizes to the students to mark progress and overall improvement. |
| Children experiencing SpLD (or dyslexic type of difficulties) | revealed that though they may have difficulty with reading, writing, organization and co-ordination, they may still have striking artistic and creative abilities. It is evident that dyslexia does not imply 'failure' or 'disaster' but can lead to heightened artistic talent. |
