I would be really grateful for advice from other university dyslexia
advisers re their assessment procedures. This is in the light (or
darkness) of the new guidance on diagnosis of dyslexia on the DfES
website (Chapter 7A C31and C32)
1. If the initial diagnosis may only be administered by a qualified
psychologist then does this rule out assessments done by teachers
from the Dyslexia Institute?
2. Who are you using for assessments?
3. Who pays for these and what are the current charges?
4. Is anyone employing the Dyslexia Institute to provide Assessments
of Performance Attainment' and if so who pays and what are the costs?
(C32 states that the costs should be met by the student)
Thank you in anticipation of your words of wisdom.
