The Maidenhead Dyslexia Centre was set up some years ago by a colleague of mine from East Berkshire College.  Since then she has worked tirelessly for the adult dyslexic population in the area.
The Centre arranges assessments and tuition.  Take a look at their website.  Even if you do not live in the area there is much information and interest on its pages.
