re summer support. Unfortunately it's very rare to have accessible
institutional support during the summer period. We have started to
use the PATOSS register of dyslexic tutors. The register is
updated in June each year costs £5 and includes details of tutors
and their specialisms listed by county, so you can suggest a
contact either near the university, or the students home.

Some LEAs will allow this, if you make a brief case for it. If
students have a case then the next task is finding a tutor. Has
anyone developed sound procedures they'd like to share for that?

Hi all,
I'm sure this is a perennial question, but is there anyone out there
who has a clear idea of what exactly the DfES's standpoint is on
funding learning support outside term time?
This is particularly pertinent for students approaching their final
year, who are expected to work on their dissertations over the
summer
break, with a deadline for submission at some point over the
Autumn
term. It is arguably the time when learning support is needed most,
and yet still a vast number of LEAs feel unable to fund it.
Thoughts, information, comments... debate?!
Thanks in anticipation.
