Has anyone had dealings with the Isle of Man Department of
Education? I have a student whose school said she was dyslexic,
but did not have her formally assessed, who has had an educational
psychologist's report confirming severe dyslexia. She sent this to
the DoE in Douglas and applied for DSA. This has been refused on
the basis that she did not require support in school - not a factor
mentioned in their guidelines, from which it appears that they
replicate mainland provision. I'm querying this with them, but would
welcome any information out there. Ann Poulter
