Hi Julia,
To answer your questions:
Does your university hardship fund/Access to Learning Fund pay for dyslexia/spld
assessments?
Yes, although like everywhere the ALF is being reduced for 2009/2010 so
it will run out even quicker than it did this year.
Is there any means-testing involved?
No.
Do you require a contribution from students? If so, how much?
No.
I made a successful bid to fund the price of students' diagnostic
assessments once the ALF has been exhausted in our annual planning
round. Hopefully, this will plug the anticipated shortfall.
