Dear All,
I have a question about the funding of Ed Psych assessments for students
who we think may have dyslexia. Currently, we use the Access to
Learning fund however, do you make students who want to access this fund
take out a student loan first or do they just have to be eligible for
this support?
If they don't take out a loan, and their parents are paying their fees
and supporting them, should we use access money to pay for an ed psych
report, when clearly their parents could pay for it? The Access to
Learning funds are public funds and are not infinite.
This is a discussion that we are having in Student Services at the
moment and I tend to think that we should use the fund for these
students, your thoughts would be appreciated.
Kind regards
